The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is set to kick off on October 3, with ten teams competing for the prestigious title. India will be aiming to secure their maiden T20 World Cup win, but the journey won’t be easy. The tournament will feature 23 matches, and India faces a challenging task, placed in a tough group with formidable opponents.
India in ‘Group of death’
The tournament won’t be an easy ride for Harmanpreet and her team. India is in Group A, alongside top teams like Australia, New Zealand, and Pakistan. Australia is a dominant force, and defeating them will require an exceptional performance. They are six-time champions and the defending title holders. New Zealand’s women’s team will also enter the tournament with high confidence, being the third-best team in the ICC T20I rankings.
The India vs Australia match will be one of the most anticipated games, as two powerhouses clash in the UAE. The India vs Pakistan match will also be an exciting encounter to watch.
