New Delhi. Women's T20 World Cup 2024 is being played in UAE. In this title battle taking place between 10 teams, there is one team which is not easy for the other 9 teams to face. That team is none other than Australia, which has maintained its dominance in this mega event for a long time. However, now is the time for change as many teams on the global stage are determined to end this era, especially the world has high expectations from the Indian women's team.
The Women's T20 World Cup has been organized 9 times so far in which Australia has won the title six times, while in the last three times it has won the title consecutively. In the current era, India, South Africa and England are the teams which have the capability to defeat Australia, but it is not going to be so easy.
India has shown signs of defeating Australia earlier also. Winning the only Test in Mumbai last year or winning by nine wickets in the first T20I in Navi Mumbai earlier this year. When both the teams meet in their Group A match in Sharjah on October 13, it will be a big battle between the two giants. But if India plans to go till the end, it will have to overcome the hurdle of Australia.
After the retirement of Meg Lanning, Australia, now captained by Alyssa Healy, has always been India's enemy in big matches. This time, India and Australia are in Group A along with Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka – with only two teams progressing to the semifinals.
Another reason why this tournament has become the best edition of the Women's T20 World Cup is that it has similar playing conditions. UAE is a neutral venue and the challenges are equal for all the teams.
