Different format but India look to set the tone | Cricket New Delhi:As India begin their campaign against Pakistan in Sunday’s T20 World Cup opener, Harmanpreet Kaur and Co are focused on setting their tone. They carry the weight of expectations as less than a year ago, they finally broke through and won the ODI World Cup, a triumph that transformed belief within the group. “Everyone is very excited for the first game because the first game is always important and it always sets the tone for you,” captain Harmanpreet Kaur told reporters on the eve of the contest. Earlier, head coach Amol Muzumdar was quick to remind everyone that success in one format guarantees nothing in another. That confidence may prove crucial because India entered the competition after a mixed run of results. “It’s a completely different format,” Muzumdar said. “One thing I can assure you is that we will take a lot from that World Cup into this tournament because we know for a fact that we can cross the line.” While recent defeats against South Africa (4-1) and England (2-1) raised questions, Harmanpreet believes those setbacks may ultimately strengthen the side. “When things go well, sometimes you don’…

Will India shake hands with Pakistan players in T20 World Cup 2026 ... India captainHarmanpreet Kaurdeclined to comment on whether players from India and Pakistan would exchange handshakes during their Women’s T20 World Cup match on Sunday in Edgbaston. She wants the focus firmly on cricket ahead of taking on the arch-rivals in their tournament opener on June 14. Notably, Indian teams have consistently followed a no-handshake approach against Pakistan in recent meetings. The practice has been visible across multiple age groups and senior competitions, including the men’s Asia Cup, the Rising Stars Asia Cup, the Under-19 Asia Cup and the Under-19 World Cup. During the Women’s World Cup last year, Harmanpreet also did not shake hands with Pakistan captain Fatima Sana. When asked about the possibility of a handshake after Sunday’s contest, the India skipper offered a brief response, adding that the focus must only be on cricket. “We are here for cricket and we (in the team) don’t talk about anything else,” said Harmanpreet in the press conference. Meanwhile, the clash carries significance beyond the occasion itself. India enter the contest with a strong record against Pakistan in…

How India can qualify for T20 World Cup semi-finals - Gulf News England, New Zealand and South Africa have moved to the last four Dubai: Three teams — England, New Zealand and South Africa — have already secured their places in thesemi-finals of the T20 World Cup, leaving just one berth to be decided. The final spot will be determined today, withSouth Africa taking on Zimbabweand India facing West Indies in the last round of Super 8 matches. For India, the equation is simple: beat West Indies at Eden Gardens in Kolkata and advance to the semi-finals. The same applies to the Caribbean side, effectively turning the clash into a virtual quarter-final. Net run rate will only come into play if Zimbabwe manage to defeat South Africa. In that case, NRR would be used to determine the group toppers. South Africa currently lead the group with four points after winning both their matches. West Indies and India have two points each, but the former sit second thanks to a superior net run rate. The situation could become complicated if the India—West Indies match is washed out or abandoned. In that event, both teams would share a point and finish level on points. West Indies would then pro…

Perry: Australia want to improve on win over Bangladesh | ICC The defending champions were given a thorough examination by the Lady Tigers on Tuesday but emerged unscathed to make it two wins from two. One of the tournament’s unbeaten records is set to fall on Thursday as Perry’s side face off against Sri Lanka, who are also sitting pretty with four points in Group 1. Perry hopes Australia can implement what they have learnt from their previous match against sub-continent opposition as they look to take their game to the next level ahead of the knockout stages. “Bangladesh played well, particularly in terms of the way they bowled,” she said. “I think it suited the conditions well and chasing a low total can be tricky at times. “The way that Midge [Alyssa Healy] and Meg [Lanning] went about it was quite professional in the end but, saying that, it’s nice to have another opportunity in the same conditions against a similar attack. “We’ve taken away some key learnings and it’s a case of making some adjustments as to how we play, especially in the batting innings.” One player Australia will be looking to stop with the ball is Sri Lanka’s big-hitting captain Chamari Athapaththu, who is…

Five key battles at the Women's Cricket World Cup Final - ICC Broadcast Details for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup By Daniel Beswick A new winner of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup is set to be crowned. As India stare down history at home in Navi Mumbai, Laura Wolvaardt’s South Africa too look to break new ground, going one better than falling short in multiple Final appearances at ICC events in recent years by beating Harmanpreet Kaur’s side a second time at the tournament. Ahead of the Final , we look at five battles that could dictate the match. India's new-ball bowlers v South Africa top-order Even if it didn’t lead to victory in Vizag when the teams met in the league phase on October 9, India should take confidence out of a strong new-ball performance, consigning their opponents to 18/2 inside six overs, and helping the likes of the spinners to pin the Proteas down at 81/5. Laura Wolvaardt watched on at the non-striker’s end as Tazmin Brits (0), Sune Luus (5), Marizanne Kapp (20) and Anneke Bosch (1) fell, though South Africa’s skipper found a partner in Chloe Tryon in a 61-run stand to begin the fightback in their eventual victory. Wolvaardt (470) leads the tournament r…

Will Team India Shake Hands With Pakistan? Harmanpreet Kaur Finally ... Harmanpreet Kaur's Team India will begin their Women's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign against bitter rivals Pakistan on Sunday at Edgbaston. Even though the Indian team has dominated this rivalry over the years, matches against Pakistan are almost always more intense, both on and off the pitch. The main topic of discussion prior to the game, though, is whether or not players from both teams will shake hands. Players from both the men's and women's teams have refrained from shaking hands with Pakistan since the Men's Asia Cup last year. Several competitions, such as the Women's World Cup, U19 World Cup, Rising Stars Asia Cup, and Men's T20 World Cup, saw the same approach. Harmanpreet Kaur On Handshake Row The Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur was questioned on the eve of the game on the potential for handshakes and whether the BCCI had communicated with her. "Well, I think we are here for cricket, and we only talk about cricket; except for cricket, we don’t talk about anything, and I don’t even think about anything except cricket. Cricket has been our dream from day one, and we only talk about it. For …

India (IND-W) vs Pakistan (PAK-W) Highlights: India's spin web chokes ... Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Women's T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan at Edgbaston in Birmingham. That's three wickets in the over for Deepti Sharma and she finishes off the game in style. Pakistan's Aliya Riaz, Tasmia and Nashra all fall in almost similar fashion as they just crumbled in the middle overs. India's spinners show why they can be a force to be reckoned with at the tournament. Smriti Mandhana was sensational with the bat and Richa Ghosh's blitz in the end ensured India put on a big total. Pakistan made a fine start but the moment the spinners came in, the match flipped on its head. Now, India will turn their attention to Netherlands on June 16. Sree Charani adds another one but that was all Shreyanka Patil. The all-rounder dives to her right and completes a sensational catch to send Rameen Shamim back to the pavilion. India will now look to finish things off quickly and move to the next game. Natalia Parvaiz heads back to the pavilion as India edge closer to the win.

India & Pakistan meet in Women's T20 World Cup Two of cricket's giants go head-to-head in the ICC T20 Women's World Cup Dubai: No bilateral series. No friendly exchange. India and Pakistan only meet in World Cups – and every time they do, an entire subcontinent holds it breath.

The bowling, led by Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh, looks their most reliable department. Pakistan, meanwhile, arrive with a captain playing the cricket of her life. Fatima Sana set the world record for the fastest fifty in women’s T20Is during P…
