India will kick off their ICC Women's 2024 T20 World Cup campaign with a Group A match against New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, October 4. The tournament began on Thursday, with Bangladesh getting the better of Scotland by 16 runs, while Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 31 runs in the second match of the day.
The Women in Blue will be led by the experienced Harmanpreet Kaur, from whom there will be high expectations. In the likes of Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma and Shreyanka Patil, India have a nice mix of youth and experience. There has been a sense of continuity to the Indian team over the last few years, but they need to stand up in big events.
Harmanpreet and Co. will be pleased with their preparations heading into the Women's World Cup. They won both their warm-up matches held in Dubai. India first beat West Indies by 20 runs and then got the better of South Africa by 28 runs.
