WCL 2025 Semis: India Champions Secure Spot

Also, India successfully chased down the target in 13.2 overs, with to a match-winning half-century from Stuart Binny and important contributions from captain Yuvraj Singh. This earned them a spot in the quarterfinals.

With four wins out of five matches, the Men in Green topped the points table with nine points and a net run rate of +2.452.
South Africa came in second with four victories and one loss, and Australia came in third with two wins and two losses in five games. India got the last slot in the semifinals by having a better net run rate than England and the West Indies, even though they only won one of their four matches.
