India achieved their primary objective of making the semifinals of the ICC
Women’s T20 World Cup, but they didn’t manage to tick all the required
boxes and as a result, wouldn’t be going into the semifinals with the
confidence of all bases covered.The rain and strong gusts forced the umpires to take the players off the
field, with Ireland 54/2 in 8.2 overs in pursuit of 156. The
Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) par score was 59 at that stage, and as the
match was subsequently abandoned, India emerged victorious by five runs.

The underdogs, who had lost their previous three games in the
competition, needed a further 102 runs in 70 balls. India would still have
been favourites, but may have had to endure some anxious moments if the
partnership between Gaby Lewis and skipper Laura Delany continued for a few
more overs.
