India eyes maiden title in Women's T20 World Cup 2024

The Women's T20 World Cup 2024 officially commences today in the United Arab Emirates, featuring an exciting lineup of teams battling for cricketing glory. India, under the dynamic leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, aims to secure their first title in this prestigious tournament, beginning their journey on October 4 against New Zealand.

This year's tournament sees a shift from its original host, Bangladesh, due to a political crisis in the country. Despite the changes, the competition maintains its format, with ten teams split into two groups: Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka in Group A, while Group B comprises Bangladesh, England, Scotland, South Africa, and the West Indies. A total of 23 matches will unfold over 18 days, culminating in the final on October 20.
