India’s women’s cricket team are looking to recreate the same success that the men’s team did in June. Rohit Sharma’s Men in Blue lifted India’s first ICC title in 11 years and spread joy throughout the nation. With the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 already kicked off, Team India would look to recreate that special moment that happened on June 29 in Barbados at the Dubai cricket stadium on October 20.
History on the line
This is India’s women’s team’s first ICC title, but the first time. Women in Blue have played 18 ICC tournaments but haven’t been able to get their hands on the elusive trophy. In the 2020 Women’s T20 World Cup, they reached the final but couldn’t beat the great Australian team.
“Winning two trophies in a year would be a different achievement, but winning the World Cup itself will be very special. This year, my goal is to not discuss my goals. I don’t want to talk about what’s going to happen next. It’s important for us to follow the process and take it one match at a time. The journey and what happens after—how many trophies we win—is something for all of you to enjoy. For us, it’s about the process. As I’ve said, this year and last year have been about focusing on the process, not the goals. Hopefully, we can talk about this once the final is finished,” India’s vice-captain said before their clash with New Zealand.
“It would be very special. This year, the men’s team won the World Cup, and we all know how special that moment was for everyone. If we win, it will create a similar moment for Indian fans and for cricket history back home. I think it’s going to be a very special achievement for us,” captain Harmanpreet Kaur stated.
