India is one of the favorites to make it to the Women’s T20 World Cup final, if not the semi-final, according to Lisa Sthalekar. India’s goal is to win the women’s World Cup for the first time.
Lisa Sthalekar, a former captain of Australia, considered India’s prospects for the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup. According to Sthalekar, India should make it to the UAE final, if not the semi-final. Prior to the event, Sthalekar, the champion of the T20 World Cup in 2012 and 2013, as well as the winner of the World Cup in 2005, touted Australia and England as strong favorites to advance to the knockout stage. India will try to break through the long wait for their first women’s World Cup championship, which has eluded them for many years.
Since Australia wants to win their fourth consecutive title, I anticipate them reaching the semifinals. England had a strong build-up leading up to the event. At the ABC – International Development’s five-day cricket commentary and mojo program at the Australian good Commission, Sthalekar told a limited group of journalists, “I expect India to be in the semifinals, if not in the finals.” “Their chances are also very high.”
Australia’s dominance in the World Cup of Women’s T20
Australia won the Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 at home against India, and they repeated the victory in the summit match against the hosts, South Africa, in 2023 to claim the prestigious title for the third time in a row. England won the inaugural competition in 2009, while Australia, who had won the women’s T20 World Cup six times, controlled the competition for the most part.The Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian team was praised by Sthalekar for their strength and depth, which made them favorites for the women’s T20 World Cup in 2024.
India will be in a strong position if its 4–7 number hitters can score at a good strike rate. They have power, depth, and decent bowlers. The openers must get them off to a strong start. It’s interesting to watch Jemimah perform.
Sthalekar was particularly excited to watch Jemimah Rodrigues compete in the T20 World Cup following her successful Women’s CPL campaign. Throughout the tournament, she amassed 104 runs, including an undefeated 59 that propelled the Trinbago Knight Riders to the championship match.
Recently, Jemimah Rodriguez performed admirably in the West Indies (in the CPL). She stated it will be interesting to watch how she does in the WC.
The veteran stated that bowlers who have a terrific day or any top-order Indian hitter who reaches a century might steal the game away.
