In the Women's T20 World Cup 2024, on Tuesday, October 15, West Indies defeated the English team in the last match of the group stage and knocked them out of the tournament and made their place in the semi-finals. After this exciting match, English captain Heather Knight was completely broken down and looked very emotional.
Actually, a video of Heather Knight is going viral on social media in which she is seen trying to hide her tears after losing the match to West Indies in the Women's T20 World Cup 2024. However, she is unable to do so and her emotional video gets captured on camera. Let us tell you that this reaction of Heather Knight was seen because the fate of the English team was in her hands.
If they had defeated West Indies in the last match of the group stage, they could have qualified for the semi-finals. Not only this, they played brilliantly in the entire World Cup and won their first three matches, but with the defeat against West Indies, their net run rate became less than South Africa and West Indies, due to which they played only one match in the group stage. Could not reach the semi-finals due to loss.

It is noteworthy that West Indies and South Africa have qualified for the semi-finals from Group B, having won 3-3 out of 4 matches in the group stage. The English team also won the same number of matches, but their net run rate was slightly lower due to which they were out of the tournament. Also know that from Group A, Australia and New Zealand have made it to the semi-finals. In such a situation, now the first semi-final of the Women's T20 World will be played between Australia and South Africa and the second semi-final will be played between New Zealand and West Indies.
