Chasing 152 for a win, India ended at 142 for 9 with captain Harmanpreet Kaur top-scoring with 54 not out off 47 balls.

Deepti Sharma and Shafali Verma chipped in with 29 and 20 respectively. India ended their Group A campaign on four points after two wins and two losses.

As a result, Australia qualified for the semifinals with 8 points from 4 matches but India's fortunes still hangs in balance.

India have 4 points from 4 matches with their losses coming against Australia and New Zealand. New Zealand have 4 while Pakistan have 2.

However, India can still qualify for the semis if Pakistan can beat New Zealand in the final Group A match on Monday.

If Pakistan win, they will have 4 points along with India and NZ. However, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will qualify for the semis thanks to a better NRR.
