The 9th edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup kicks off today with a match between Bangladesh and Scotland in Sharjah. The Indian team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, will start their campaign on Friday, October 6, against New Zealand in a Group A clash.
The Women in Blue are eager to follow in the footsteps of the men's team, who triumphed earlier this year, as they aim for their first T20 World Cup title. In the previous eight tournaments, Australia has dominated with six championships, while the West Indies and England have each secured one.
The Indian women's team enters the tournament with renewed confidence, having recently defeated both the West Indies and last year's runners-up, South Africa, in consecutive matches.
