The race for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 has started to heat up with the group stage games heading into the climax stages. Reigning champions Australia and England have already announced themselves as strong competitors after being the only teams to win their opening two matches so far.

BBC Sport looks at what each side in the Women's T20 World Cup need from their remaining group games to reach the semi-finals.
