Feb. 22 (CRICKETNMORE) - A pulsating last-ball victory for India over South Africa provided a fitting finale to the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2017. India and South Africa who are now ranked fourth and sixth respectively, in the latest ICC Women’s Rankings, ensured places in the ICC Women’s World Cup and the ICC Women’s Championship even before the last round of the Super Six stage while Sri Lanka and Pakistan were the other teams to advance.
India’s stand-in captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s superb run-a-ball 41 in the final against South Africa showcased the potential thrills that women’s cricket can offer even as the qualification process had been sorted out before the match.
These four now join Australia, England, New Zealand and the West Indies, who had already booked places in the pinnacle event to be held in England and Wales from 24 June to 23 July by finishing in the top four of the ICC Women’s Championship.
