The excitement of the Women's T20 World Cup is ready to reach its peak. It remains to be seen whether there will be a new winner in this World Cup starting on Thursday in the UAE or whether the dominance of Australia, the winner for the last three times, will continue. In the total eight T20 World Cups held so far, Australia has become the winner six times and England and West Indies have won once each. No other country including India has become the T20 champion so far. However, this time Australia's path is not considered easy. The biggest challenge before them will be to deal with the Indian team.
By winning both the practice matches easily, Harmanpreet Kaur's team has strongly put forward its claim for this World Cup. The Indian team has reached the T20 World Cup final only once in 2020, where it had to face defeat from Australia. Due to the World Cup matches being held in Dubai and Sharjah, India is being considered a strong contender in the World Cup this time. The pitches here are helpful for spinners and India has the best spinner attack in the world.
Today's matches
Bangladesh vs Scotland (from 3:30 pm)
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka (from 7:30 pm)
The Indian team is very experienced.
This tournament was to be held in Bangladesh, but due to the domestic situation there, the ICC decided to hold it in the UAE at the last moment. In recent times, if any team has troubled Australia the most, then it is India. Although Harmanpreet Kaur's team lost to Australia in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games and the 2020 World Cup final, this time India can trouble Australia due to the pitches helping the spinners. The Indian team no longer lacks experience. Harmanpreet Kaur has played 35 World Cup matches, Smriti Mandhana 21, Deepti Sharma, and Jemima Rodrigues have played 15-15 T20 World Cup matches. Apart from these, explosive Richa Ghosh and Shafali Verma will also have to fulfill their responsibilities.
Group A: India, Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and New Zealand
Group B: England, Bangladesh, South Africa, West Indies, Scotland
Harmanpreet's captaincy will be at stake.
The negative side of the Indian team is that it has not played many international matches in recent times. In the final of the T20 Asia Cup too, it lost to Sri Lanka by eight wickets. This tournament is very important for Harmanpreet Kaur. If she is not able to make the team a winner here, then her captaincy can also be in danger. She has been captaining the team since the 2018 T20 World Cup. In the last three T20 World Cups, the Indian team has reached the final once and the semi-finals twice.
India-Australia are in the same group.
In this World Cup, India and Australia are in the same Group A. Australia will be such a team that defeating it will be a challenge for any team. Australia, playing under the captaincy of Alyssa Healy, has quality all-rounders like Elise Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, and Grace Harris. They also have fast bowlers like Tayla Vlaminck and Dorsey Brown. There are strong teams in Group A. Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Pakistan also have the power to defeat anyone. The top two teams from both groups will enter the semi-finals. England is considered strong in Group B. They also have all-rounders like Nat Shiver Brunt and spinners like Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, and Sarah Glenn. England is also excited after defeating Australia in the Ashes.
