Despite consistent semi-final appearances, India have yet to lift the Women’s T20 World Cup trophy. With a strong squad and recent success in the 50-over format, expectations are high. The opening clash against Pakistan is expected to set the tone, while the final group match against Australia could prove decisive.

The Women in Blue will aim to combine experience and youthful energy to break their title drought and make history in London this July.
