The unbeaten run of the team India in the group stage has helped them to sail into their maiden Women’s T20 World Cup final after the semi- final clash between India and England has washed out at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday.

The Cricket Australia’s last minute request for a reserve day for the semi- finals has been denied by the ICC where in it means that if either or both the semis were abandoned then the teams which have topped the group would be progressing to the finals.

The teams of India and Australia have been progressed to the final.

India is said to face Australia which has been the winner of the second semi- final between Australia and South Africa, in the final.

The team India which has been led by Harmanpreet Kaur had topped the Group A with four victories in in as many matches. It has been said that the team India did not look back after stunning defending the champions Australia in the opener of the tournament and the Indian team has registered comprehensive wins against the teams of Bangladesh, New Zealand and Sri Lanka in order to enter the semi- finals with great confidence.
