Watch: Absolute Scenes As West Indies Women Find Out They've Reached World Cup Semi-Finals

For West Indies Women, their fate in the ICC Women's World Cup 2022 hung in the balance as India and South Africa faced off in the final league stage match of the tournament on Sunday. India Women went into the match with six points, while West Indies finished their league stage matches with seven points. A win for India against South Africa would see them leapfrog the Windies and reach the final four of the seminal tournament. So it's no surprise that Stafanie Taylor and the rest of the team were watching the India-South Africa clash with bated breath.

The match went into the final over, and after much drama including a wicket off a no-ball, South Africa grabbed victory off the last delivery.

As Mignon du Preez hit the winning runs, the West Indies Women team erupted in joy.

In a video shared by Cricket West Indies, the players were seen jumping and screaming in excitement as it was confirmed that they had made it through to the semi-finals.

"To the semi-finals WI go!!!!!" they wrote in their tweet.
