Indian Women’s Cricket Team Aims for Historic World Cup Triumph
The Indian women’s cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is poised to make history in October as they aim to become the first Indian side to lift a senior World Cup title in women’s international cricket. The team will participate in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, where they will face formidable opponents in their quest for glory.
India has a strong unit that will hope to go the distance this time around, having finished runners-up once in the T20 World Cup (in 2020). However, they have their work cut out, with six-time T20 World Cup champions Australia and recently-crowned Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka in their group. India will also continue their rivalry with Pakistan in the group stage, as well as face two-time runners up New Zealand.
In the history of the Women’s T20 World Cup, only three nations have been crowned champions. Apart from Australia’s six titles, England and the West Indies have one each.
