On October 4, India, who is ranked first in Group A, will play their first match against New Zealand.
The United Arab Emirates is set to host the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 starting on October 3. India’s first league matchup is against New Zealand, who are ranked first in Group A. Notably, because of continuing political unrest in Bangladesh, the event was moved from Bangladesh to the United Arab Emirates.
The team has undergone a number of tactical adjustments as a result of the venue change. Sri Lanka lost a pacer to the UAE decks, which are known to help spinners. However, India has remained with their lineup, and according to former Indiaskipper Mithali Raj, the UAE’s climate could work in the Women in Blue’s favor.
Like everyone else, I believe I will undoubtedly want the team to succeed since we all want to see our side win the World Cup. With the exception of the Under-19 World Cup, the Indian women’s team has yet to win anything. Speaking to Star Sports, Mithali stated that “we can say that our team has the advantage” because the UAE is again in very similar conditions.
However, the World Cup implies that each squad travels well-prepared. I believe I just covered the Asia Cup for women’s cricket as a broadcaster, and India was eliminated. “I’m not sure if that’s fortunate in that sense,” she went on.
India Women have never before taken home a T20 World Cup trophy. The event in the women’s arena is currently in its ninth edition. The team made it to one championship final, but Australia defeated them in 2020. Conversely, Australia is the reigning winners and have set a record six times in this competition.
