Road to the last-four

India cruised through the group stage, finishing top on a maximum 18 points, having won all nine of their matches. India’s net run rate of 2.570 was far and away the best in the group stage.

South Africa were the second team to qualify, winning seven of their nine matches. An early loss to the Netherlands was a shock, and they also slipped to a heavy defeat to India after both teams had already secured qualification.

Australia bounced back from defeats to India and South Africa in their opening matches to win the remaining seven and qualify with 14 points.
