Although one team will be crowned the champions following the final on February 21, four will make it to the main stage of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017 along with the ICC Women’s Championship. However, the remaining two teams from the Super-six stage would be guaranteed of an ODI status in the next ICC cycle.
