New Zealand, chasing 325, failed to get going despite Brooke Halliday's 81 runs. The White Ferns now cannot advance after three defeats and two no-results in six games.
Meanwhile, India overturned their three-match losing run to register a third win in six games.
The victory means that, regardless of India's result in their final group game against Bangladesh, no team can move above them on both points and the number of wins.
The other semi-finalists are South Africa, England and defending champions Australia.
