Published by Webster

India’s campaign at the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup came to an end after a six-wicket defeat to Australia in a must-win Group A clash at Lord’s in London on Sunday. The loss meant India finished third in Group A behind Australia and South Africa, who had earlier defeated Bangladesh to secure a place in the semi-finals. It is the second successive edition in which India has failed to progress beyond the group stage, having also exited at the same stage in 2024. Despite the defeat, spinner Deepti Sharma achieved a major personal milestone by becoming the highest wicket-taker in the history of women’s international cricket. Deepti claimed her 356th international wicket when she dismissed Australian opener Beth Mooney, surpassing former India pacer Jhulan Goswami’s tally of 355 wickets. Australia’s Ellyse Perry (336), England’s Katherine Sciver-Brunt (335) and Sophie Ecclestone (333) round out the top five. Chasing 171 for victory, Australia recovered from an early setback to complete the chase with the help of unbeaten half-centuries from Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner. Renuka Singh …

Muneeba Ali and Gull Feroza had started Pakistan’s run chase steadily but they were sent back before they could do much damage. After that, Pakistan started losing wickets in a bunch, where they went from 53/2 to 79/6 at one point as the Indian bowlers made merry. Deepti took 5 while Charani snapped up 3 as the Pakistan lower order could not help their team recover from the early collapse. Earlier, Mandhana’s batting was grace personified as her regal 44-ball-68 along with Richa Ghosh’s cameo took India to a fighting 170 for 6. Ghosh (34 off 17 balls) provided the final flourish as left-arm seamer Tasmia Rubab went for 23 runs in the penultimate over which could eventually prove to be decisive. Mandhana’s elegance was on full …

And then there is line and length. Which line I have to bowl. And basically today more of my focus was on my offspin ball than the little faster one. That gave me confidence to bowl better and better,” she said. Deepti …

Suryakumar Yadav’s T20 Team India has been urged not just to defend the crown Rohit, Virat, Hardik and Bumrah won at Barbados, but to now effectively keep the Cup home – given India is hosting.

I’m very sure the team will work very hard for the Cup, and bring it home,” she said. The campaign might not have captured the imagination as much as the one before the Women’s World Cup where an ordinary fan of the men’s game is slowly persuaded to cheer as loudly for the women, but this one conceptualised by Atul Kattukaran and the creative team at the broadcasters, harps on not letting go of the bragging rights of being world champions. ‘ Indian women mounted a …

In a year that will be remembered for India finally ending their wait for a World Cup title, two of their stalwarts led the way in the batting and bowling charts for women’s One Day Internationals. Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma was the leading run-scorer and wicket-taker in the 50-over format across 2025, and unsurprisingly had superb World Cup campaigns too.
