West Indies win to knock England out of Women's T20 World Cup

The 2024 Women's T20 World Cup group stage has concluded and the four semi-finalists are known.

Here's how the two groups finished.

How did England fare in Group B?

West Indies progressed as group winners with a six-wicket win over England on Tuesday.

South Africa, who were runners-up in 2023, also qualified on net run-rate with that result.

England were eliminated on net run-rate with that defeat.

Bangladesh and Scotland had already been eliminated.

Who has qualified from Group A?

Defending champions Australia have qualified as group winners after victory in all four of their matches.

New Zealand secured the second semi-final spot from Group A with a dominant win over Pakistan on Monday.

That result meant India and Pakistan joined Sri Lanka in being eliminated.

Who will face who in the semi-finals?

Thursday, 17 October: Semi-final 1 - Australia v South Africa (Dubai)

Friday, 18 October: Semi-final 2 - West Indies v New Zealand (Sharjah)

Both games start at 15:00 BST.

The final then takes place on Sunday, 20 October, again from 15:00.

How is net run-rate calculated?

Run-rate is the average number of runs scored per over by a team in their entire innings - so, for example, a score of 140 off 20 overs equals seven runs per over.

Net run-rate is calculated by subtracting the opposition's run-rate from the other team's run-rate.

The winning side will therefore have a positive net run-rate, and the losers a negative net run-rate.

In a tournament, net run-rate is worked out by taking the average runs per over scored by that team in each game and subtracting the average runs per over scored against them.

If a team is bowled out inside their allotted overs, their run-rate is calculated by dividing the runs by the maximum overs they could have batted - 20 overs in the case of this tournament.
