Women's T20 World Cup: Are India the chokers in women's cricket?

Are India the 'Chokers' in Women's Cricket?
From 2017 ODI World Cup final loss to the semifinal defeat in #T20WorldCup2023 , India have made a habit of faltering at the business end of tournaments.

Are India the 'Chokers' in Women's Cricket?

India needed 41 runs from 34 balls with 6 wickets in hand and yet, the Women in Blue ended up on the losing side.

The dream is over! India crashed out of the Women's T20 World Cup with a 5-run defeat against the reigning Champions, Australia. Heartbreaks at ICC events have become commonplace for the Women in Blue, who continue to chase the elusive dream of an ICC trophy. In 2017, they failed right at the final hurdle against hosts England in the ODI World Cup. In fact, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, losing their last 7 wickets for just 28 to fall short by 9 runs. At the 2020 T20 World Cup, they surrendered to the Aussie onslaught. Chasing a massive 185-run target, the team was shot out for 99. Cut to 2022, Mithali Raj's team failed to even qualify for the knockouts at the ODI World Cup in New Zealand. While they did manage to reach the final of the Commonwealth Games months later, they succumbed to pressure yet again. Chasing 162 for victory, India were cruising at 118/2, only to lose their final 8 wickets for just 34 runs, with Australia taking the Gold.
And in Cape Town on Thursday, when Indian fans were hoping &amp; praying for a different outcome this time around, the Women in Blue faltered. And the dream was shattered once again! <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/women-s-t20-world-cup-harmanpreet-kaur-s-fifty-in-vain-as-india-lose-by-5-runs-1677168793536">WATCH HIGHLIGHTS</a>

Harmanpreet, who had a medical emergency on the eve of the match, smashed a brilliant fifty to take India close to victory.
However, the Indian captain's freak dismissal where she was caught short of the crease after her bat got stuck in the turf, turned the tide in Australia's favour.

Chasing 173 for victory, India lost 3 wickets with Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana &amp; Yastika Bhatia departing inside the first 4 overs.

So near, yet so far once again! India came close to beating Australia in the T20 World Cup semifinal but faltered right at the end to lose by 5 runs. Having opted to bat, Aussie openers put together a 50-run partnership before Alyssa Healy was stumped off Radha Yadav. But Beth Mooney's fifty, combined with Meg Lanning's 49 not out and Ash Gardener's quickfire 31 took the reigning champions past the 170-run mark.

However, a counterattacking 59-run partnership from Jemimah Rodrigues &amp; Harmanpreet Kaur got India back into the game. While Rodrigues departed for 43, Harmanpreet went on to score yet another fifty. But just when India were looking favourites, the Indian captain ran out of luck, quite literally, falling short of her crease in a very freaky way to depart for 52. Richa Ghosh &amp; Deepti Sharma struggled, with the Aussies keeping their nerves to send India crashing out of yet another World Cup.

The South African opener was adjudged Player of the Match after scoring 66* in the final group game against Bangladesh.

Hosts South Africa stormed into the semi-finals of the Women's T20 World Cup with a 10-wicket victory against Bangladesh in Cape Town.
Bangladesh, having opted to bat, lost both their openers inside the powerplay. While Sobhana Mostary &amp; captain Nigar Sultana both got starts, their low strike rates meant Bangladesh could only finish with 113.
In reply, South Africa hardly broke a sweat. Needing a victory to enter the last four, both Laura Wolvaardt &amp; Tazmin Brits found the perfect mix of caution &amp; aggression.

Kaur made the record against Ireland, and the women's cricket veteran is ahead of some of the biggest Indian stalwarts in terms of appearances. Rohit Sharma, in fact, has played the highest number of T20Is in men's cricket with 148 matches.
Kaur, during her innings against the Irish, also completed 3000 runs in T20Is, becoming the first Indian woman and the 4th overall to achieve the feat.

#Pakistan

Muneeba Ali became the first Pakistani woman to score a T20I century.

While Pakistan didn&rsquo;t get to the best of starts against Ireland in Cape Town, wicketkeeper Muneeba Ali made history for the Women in Green.
The opening batter became the first Pakistani woman to score a hundred in T20Is. Riding on her 68-ball 102, Bismah Maroof&rsquo;s side posted an imposing 165 from their 20 overs.
In reply, Ireland lost both their openers inside the powerplay. Left-arm spinner Nashru Sandhu then took 4/18 to bowl the Irish out for just 95 inside 17 overs, giving Pakistan a 70-run victory.

West Indies were not really off to a poor start after electing to bat but their batting floundered in the middle overs and could only put together a below-par West Indies total of 135/7.

&nbsp;An unbeaten 67-run partnership for the fourth wicket between veteran all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt and captain Heather Knight helped England defeat the West Indies by seven wickets in an ICC Women's T20 World Cup Group B match here on Saturday.
The two England stalwarts took advantage of the below-par West Indies total of 135/7 to launch a concerted effort when they came together at the crease, finishing the match in the 15th over, with Sciver-Brunt scoring an unbeaten 40 and Knight remaining not out at 32.
While West Indies were not really off to a poor start after electing to bat, their batting floundered in the middle overs with no one able to give them the push in the death overs.
Skipper Hayley Matthews scored a quick-fire 42 (32 balls) at the top of the order, while Shemaine Campbelle made a laboured 34 as West Indies moved to a modest 69 for 2 at the start of the 11th over.
But just when the team wanted someone to give the scoreboard a boost after Matthews departed following a Sophie Ecclestone delivery thumping the West Indies opener's knee roll, there was no worthwhile partnership to guide the Caribbeans to a competitive total.
Sophie emerged the most successful bowler for England, taking three wickets for 23 runs in her four overs.
England were off to a confident start with opener Sophia Dunkley smashing an 18-ball 34 studded with four boundaries and a six, as she made her intentions clear. Though Danny Wyatt (11) and Alice Capsey (13) went cheaply, there was never a doubt about their supremacy.
Sciver-Brunt and Knight capitalised on a far-from-impressive West Indies bowling attack, putting it to the sword and smashing boundaries at will.
Sciver-Brunt smashed six boundaries and a maximum while her captain took just 22 deliveries on her way to an unbeaten 32, studded with four boundaries and a six.
Brief scores: West Indies Women: 135 for 7 in 20 overs (Hayley Matthews 42, Shemaine Campbelle 34; Sophie Ecclestone 3/23) lost to England Women 138 for 3 in 14.3 overs (Sophia Dunkley 34, Nat Sciver-Brunt 40 not out, Heather Knight 32 not out) by seven wickets.

Asked to bat first, Sri Lanka posted 129/4 from their 20 overs, with captain Chamari Athapaththu scoring 68 off 50 balls.
And while the South Africans were expected to eclipse the total, they struggled against the Islanders' spin attack.
Inoka Ranaweera, Oshadi Ranasinghe and Sugandika Kumari took 7 wickets between them, with the other two being run-outs as South Africa fell short on 126-9.

Tap for updates on their injuries.

'Mandhana suffered an injury in the practice game. We can't say she is out of World Cup yet. But she could miss the Pakistan game,' an ICC source told PTI.

&nbsp;India vice captain Smriti Mandhana is likely to miss the Women's T20 World Cup opener against Pakistan on Sunday as she is yet to recover from a finger injury she suffered during a warm-up game.
The 26-year-old opener injured her left middle finger while fielding during the warm-up match against Australia on Monday.
"She suffered an injury in the practice game. We can't say she is out of World Cup yet. But she could miss the Pakistan game," an ICC source told PTI.
The southpaw had batted at number three against Australia instead of her usual opening position. Her innings lasted only three-balls.
Mandhana had subsequently missed India's second warm-up game against Bangladesh on Wednesday.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's fitness is also a concern. She had injured her shoulder during the final of the Tri-Series against South Africa last week.
"Body is fine. It will get better with rest," Kaur had said after the final.
However, the big-hitting middle-order batter did not bat in either of India's warm-up matches.
The 'Women in Blue' are clubbed alongside England, Pakistan, West Indies and Ireland in Group B.&nbsp;

The Women's T20 World Cup starts on February 10 and Australia's dominance in the format cannot be overlooked.
Such has been their hegemony that the Australian women's team have lifted the title a record 5 out of 7 times. To add to that, they also won the first-ever Commonwealth Games Gold in T20 cricket last year.
The Aussies have been invincible in the format since their triumph at the 2020 T20 World Cup at home. In the last 22 months, they have lost a solitary game in the format and that too came in a Super Over against India.
Teams like India, England &amp; South Africa have the pedigree to challenge the Great Australian dominance at the World Cup, they have the personnel to thwart the Australian aggression, but taking down this Aussie side will be one hell of a feat, for the Women in Gold &amp; Green just don't know what losses feel like.

Former skipper Mithali Raj feels India's chances of winning the Women&rsquo;s T20 World Cup will depend largely on the top order's form.
The legendary batter added that the Indian bowlers will have to show a marked improvement in testing conditions at the marquee event beginning on Friday in South Africa.
"India&rsquo;s chances will be largely dependent on the top order. Smriti Mandhana is playing well and is a match winner," Mithali wrote in her column for the ICC.
"Harmanpreet Kaur has looked in good form too but we have to beat Australia and England you need other batters to come to the party." The Indian team, which takes on Pakistan in their tournament opener on February 12 in Cape Town, have been playing in South Africa.
The Indian team, which recently finished runners up in a Tri series against hosts South Africa and West Indies, will be fielding a relatively inexperienced pace unit barring veteran Shikha Pandey.
"The bowling will be tested and that is where we need to see an improvement," Mithali added.
The 40-year-old hopes the U19 World Cup-winning duo of Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh make use of the knowledge that they have gained while playing the age group tournament on these conditions.
"I hope Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh also have a good run at the World Cup considering they have gained so much experience of the conditions in South Africa.
"I am excited about some of the young players coming through and there is definitely some talent in the Under-19s team which I had the chance to see play at the inaugural ICC Under-19s Women&rsquo;s T20 World Cup." Australia favourites to win ================= Mithali opined defending champions Australia's excellent batting department make them favourites to win the event for an unprecedented sixth time.
"I think everyone would agree that Australia are the favourites, and deservedly so. I am expecting, tight, competitive matches.They are so difficult to beat because they bat deep and have an excellent batting line-up.
"There are not many teams who can rival them in terms of big hitters, and the fact they have numerous players who can play a similar role means that if one fails, others can step in.
However, Mithali feels India have a knack of producing their best against Australia.
"We saw recently that when they toured India although that was a very competitive series but when it came down to it, more often than not, it was Australia who came out on top.
"While Australia are definitely favourites, we have seen India and England play some of their best cricket in the knockout stages of tournaments so I would not write them off.
"India also have the knack of bringing their best against Australia."
The inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL) will be played this year with the auction slated to be held on February 13 in Mumbai.
Mithali, who made significant contributions in popularising the women's game during her 23-year-long glorious career, feels franchise cricket will not only help the players become financially secure but also enable them to invest in their game.
"What is great at this moment is that the women&rsquo;s game is constantly evolving. Where 140 used to be a par score in a T20, now you can see 160-180 plus chased down, and so many matches go down to the wire.
"That change has come down to the increase of leagues all over the world, with the WBBL in Australia, the Super League in England and of course the Women&rsquo;s Premier League in India which is going to start this year.
"Those platforms not only give local players the chance to interact with overseas stars, but they also offer better financial stability which allows them to invest in their own games, hiring personal coaches or strength and conditioning coaches.
While Mithali, who retired last year, will not be playing in the league, she has been roped in as a mentor and advisor by Gujarat Giants.
"I am not surprised at all that we have got to this point, the Women&rsquo;s Premier League in India is a huge development.
"While I will not be playing, I will be fortunate enough to serve as a mentor and advisor for the Gujarat Giants.
"There is no disappointment about the fact that I missed out on playing in it, my journey as a cricketer was different and I was able to play my part in the evolution of the sport.
She hopes the league will help in player development.
"I am very happy to see women&rsquo;s cricket get to where it is and excited to be part of the eco-system." "I am really hoping that the WPL will also help with player development. We have seen at the Under-19 World Cup how much young talent there is around the world and how players are already benefiting from the number of televised matches and the chance to play alongside big names in domestic cricket."

With the Indian U-19 Women's team getting India's first World Cup win for women's cricket, the stage is all set for the senior side to try and cross the final barrier and get their hands on their first World Cup trophy in the upcoming Women's T20 Wor

Women's T20 World Cup: Harmanpreet Kaur's India aiming for the elusive ICC title

After heartbreaks in the finals of the 2020 T20 World Cup & the 2022 Commonwealth Games, India will be hoping to end the title drought this time around in South Africa.

#T20WorldCup

Having lost to a dominant Australian side in the final of the 2020 edition, India will be looking for redemption this year. They were the only side to have beaten the Aussies in any match in 2022 and will be hoping to do it again at this year's World Cup.

With the Indian U-19 Women's team finally ending India's long wait for a World Cup trophy in women's cricket, the stage is all set for the senior side to try and emulate the young girls' success at the T20 World Cup in South Africa.&nbsp;
Ranked fourth in the format, the Women in Blue will be hoping to finally put an end to the bitter memories from their past campaigns at ICC events.
The 2017 ODI World Cup final loss was where it all started as the team faltered right on the cusp of glory, losing to hosts England in the final.
Losing to a dominant Australian side in the final of the 2020 T20 World Cup and the 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medal match will also be fresh in the minds of Harmanpreet Kaur's side. They were, in fact, the only side to have beaten the Aussies in any match in 2022 and will be hoping to do it again at this year's World Cup.
While India's batting continues to be their strong suit, their inexperienced pace battery will have to rise to the challenge in the African nation. The U-19 World Cup-winning duo of Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh will also feature for Harmanpreet Kaur's side, and India will be hoping for their explosive youngsters to come to the party in the African nation.
The Women in Blue will begin their World Cup campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on February 12.

Women's T20 World Cup: Indian team focussed on Pakistan clash despite WPL auction - Harmanpreet Kaur

"We have a very important game and we are just going to focus on that," Harmanpreet said at the T20 World Cup captains' press conference.

The Women's Premier League auction is just around the corner but India are firmly focussed on their T20 World Cup opener against Pakistan as they aim to emulate the U19 girls' title-winning feat, insisted skipper Harmanpreet Kaur.
The WPL action is slated to be held on February 13 in Mumbai, a day after India's T20 World Cup opener against Pakistan.
"Before that [the auction], we have a very important game and we are just going to focus on that," Harmanpreet said at the T20 World Cup captains' press conference.
"The World Cup is more important than anything else. Our focus is on the ICC trophy. These things will keep coming, and as a player, you know what's important for you and how you need to keep your focus.
"We are all mature enough and know what is important for us," she added.
Led by Shafali Verma, the Indian team won the inaugural U19 T20 World Cup last month and the senior side wants to add another ICC title in India's trophy cabinet.
"After watching the U19 World Cup, we are motivated to do what they have done. They have motivated us to do well, they have done it and we have not done it yet," Harmanpreet said.
"It was a very special moment for all of us and after watching the U19s many of the girls back home will also want to play cricket and that&rsquo;s always our aim to motivate young girls who can come and play cricket." The flamboyant Indian skipper hoped that the WPL will play a similar role in contributing to the growth of Indian women's cricket like the Women's Big Bash and The Hundred have done in Australia and England.
"It's a really big day for all of us because we have been waiting for years and years now. The next two or three months are very important for women's cricket. We have seen how the WBBL and the Hundred have helped their countries improve their cricket. Hopefully, the same will happen for our country."
Having played in the Kia Super League, WBBL and the Hundred, Harmanpreet is keen to see Indian youngsters getting the opportunity to rub shoulders with international stars.

West Indies cricket 'will cease to exist, if...' - Report

Two-time T20 World Cup winner, West Indies' cricket future is in peril, according to a Cricket West Indies commissioned review.

Here's what the report says

According to the review, 'there is significant distrust between the players and administration and this distrust is inimical to ensuring that the best 11 players turn out for the Windies team in every match.'

Two-time T20 World Cup winner, West Indies' cricket future is in peril, according to a Cricket West Indies commissioned review. The board appointed a 3-member panel consisting of former cricketers Brian Lara, Mickey Arthur, and a senior judge Patrick Thomson to probe the Windies' early exit from last year's T20 World Cup.&nbsp; The report of the review group which was made public on Thursday pointed out that West Indies cricket will cease to exist if players represent the nation on an optional basis and instead take part in lucrative T20 leagues across the world.
Nicholas Pooran-led side began their campaign Down Under with losses to Scotland and Ireland. This was their 2nd poor performance on the World stage 2021 T20 WC. The review group highlighted how the players who had appreciable performances in franchise T20 leagues were constantly not making themselves available for the national team selection. Andre Russell and Sunil Narine did not make themselves available for the T20 World Cup. Shimron Hetmyer's absence, the review report noted 'was a significant loss to the batting unit' 'In this group's view there is significant distrust between the players and administration and this distrust is inimical to ensuring that the best 11 players turn out for the Windies team in every match', the report said.&nbsp; The report that laid out a strategic short-term goal also suggested the board shortlist a pool of players for each format which would help them in the next edition of the T20 World Cup in 2024.&nbsp;
