New Delhi. The Indian team is once again returning empty handed from the Women's T20 World Cup. After losing the winning game against Australia, all the hopes of the Indian women's team were pinned on Pakistan. Pakistan performed better than expected against New Zealand, but could not win. With Pakistan's defeat, India was also out of the Women's T20 World Cup. This was the ninth edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup. India has not been able to win even one of these titles. His best performance came in 2020, when the team played the final.
India lost the first match by 58 runs
The Indian team was in Group A in the Women's T20 World Cup. Along with India, there were also teams from Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in this group. India's first match was against New Zealand. India had to face defeat in this match by 58 runs. The Indian team was all out for 102 runs while chasing the target of 161.
Defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets
The second match of the Indian women's team was against Pakistan. This time India performed better and won the match by 6 wickets. India achieved the target in 18.5 overs after restricting Pakistan to 105/8. After this, India also defeated Sri Lanka easily. India won this match by a record 82 runs. This was India's biggest win in the tournament.
Won and lost the game against Australia
India's last group match was against Australia. Australia had already reached the semi-finals by winning its first three matches. Australia also performed like champions against India and won by 9 runs. To win this match, India had to score 14 runs in the last over and had 5 wickets left. Despite this, the Indian team remained 9 runs away from the target.
Where is the lack left…
If we look at the entire performance of the Indian team, losing the game won against Australia seems to be the biggest mistake. Chasing the target of 152 runs in this match, India scored 138 runs for 5 wickets in 19 overs. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was unbeaten after scoring 52 runs. India's victory seemed certain. But the Indian team lost 4 wickets in the 20th over and could score only 4 runs. This mistake of the last over cost India dearly.
