India will begin their campaign for Women’s T20 World Cup glory on Friday, October 4. Harmanpreet Kaur-led India will face New Zealand in their tournament opener. India reached the final of the tournament once in the past eight editions. They found themselves near the finish line in 2020 but could not get past Australia. The multi-time winners clinched a win by 85 runs in that contest. Alyssa Healy played a fantastic knock of 75 runs to win the Player of the Match award. The previous edition of the competition saw India make the semi-finals but lost to Australia once again at the knockout stage.
