India joined England as qualifiers from Group Two with both sides having won three matches.
England, however, still have to play Pakistan in Cape Town on Tuesday. Victory would guarantee them top spot but they are likely group winners even if they lose because of a superior net run rate.
Australia have already won Group Two, so are almost certain to play India as runners-up in Group One in the semi-finals.
Ms. Kaur said India had gained confidence from having played Australia in a series in India last season, despite only winning one game -- and that was on a super over.
She pointed out that all teams, including champion sides like Australia, were under pressure in World Cup games.
