Sydney: The team India qualified for the finals of the Women’s T20 World Cup after the first semifinal match between India and England abandoned due to persistent rain since morning here on Thursday, March 5.

India has qualified for the summit clash for the first time in history, courtesy of their superior record in the group stage.

India is unbeaten in the tournament thus far winning all four of their matches.

The second semifinal is scheduled to begin after the India-England match at the same venue.

If the second semifinal between South Africa and Australia is also washed out then the Proteas will advance to the final since they topped their group.

There is no reserve day for the semifinals.
