The Women's T20 World Cup group stage enters its decisive final week with several teams still fighting for semi-final spots. Australia sits in the strongest position, needing just one win over Pakistan or India to likely secure progression thanks to their superior net run-rate. Their June 28 clash with India could be pivotal for both nations.

India faces the toughest route, potentially requiring victories against both Bangladesh and Australia while hoping other results fall favorably. South Africa and Bangladesh meet in a must-win scenario where only one can advance with two victories. Both Pakistan and Netherlands have already been eliminated from semi-final contention.

In the other group, the England versus West Indies match on June 24 carries enormous weight - the winner guaranteed a semi-final berth. The loser still has work to do, needing to win their final game against New Zealand while hoping other results cooperate. New Zealand, Scotland and Sri Lanka must win both remaining matches and rely on England or West Indies losing out.

Net run-rate will likely determine final placings where teams finish level on points. This mathematical formula calculates the difference between runs scored per over and runs conceded per over across all matches. Teams bowled out early have their runs divided by full overs allocation rather than actual overs faced, preventing artificially inflated rates.
