India Women Face Stiff Competition in ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024

With teams like Australia, New Zealand, and arch-rivals Pakistan in Group A, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India Women gear up for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024. The competition kicks off on October 3 in Sharjah, UAE, with India's first match against New Zealand.

Harmanpreet Kaur's India Women will confront formidable challenges from teams including defending champions Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and arch-rivals Pakistan in Group A of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 in the UAE. The tournament begins on October 3 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, culminating in the final on October 20 at Dubai International Stadium.

Ranked No. 3 in the world, India and Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka are in contention for the second spot in the group. Competitive teams like Pakistan and former finalists New Zealand ensure a highly spirited group stage. India's recent semi-final heartbreak in Cape Town fuels their determination for a strong performance.

India has conducted fitness and skills-based camps to fine-tune their game. Their top six batters, in exceptional form, are key to their strategy. Their bowling line-up, featuring effective tweakers, is also a considerable asset in UAE conditions.
