Women's T20 World Cup 2024 weather update: Dubai weather report for October 4 for India vs New Zealand match
India will take on New Zealand in their first match of the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, October 4. This will be the second match in Group A. Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 31 runs in Sharjah on Thursday in the first match of the group.
The Women in Blue have never won the T20 World Cup (or the ODI World Cup for that matter). They reached the final of the 2020 edition but had to be content with the runners-up trophy as Australia hammered them by 85 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Last year, they finished semifinalists, again going down to the Aussies in the knockout match in Cape Town.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has, however, asserted that this is the best Indian team that has been picked for the Women's T20 World Cup so far. She reckons that if the players perform to their potential, there is no reason why they can't lift the trophy.
