After losing to defending champions England, Indian eves now find themselves in a tough situation. With two wins and two defeats, they are currently fourth in the ICC Women's World Cup 2022 points table and need to win their remaining matches to make the semifinals without relying on other results. And their remaining matches are against Australia, South Africa and Bangladesh. West Indies, thanks to their win against Bangladesh on Friday are third.

India will be confident of beating tournament debutants Bangladesh but against Australia and South Africa, Mithali Raj & Co will need to play out of their skin. Both the teams are undefeated so far, and are certain to make the semis -- leaving India, England, hosts New Zealand and West Indies in a four-way fight for the remaining two semi-final spots.
India have the talent and means to beat Australia, as witnessed in the 2017 semi-final, in which Harmanpreet Kaur hit a record 171 not out. A win against Meg Lanning & Co on Saturday will not only brighten India's top-four chances but also boost their morale. But that will not be easy, considering the rut that India's batters are in. They were dismissed for 134 by England.
