Win Projections to be updated soon
The background of the next Women’s T20 World Cup appears to be a little different. There are many more eyes on the Indian team than usual, aside from the usual favorites. Their performance in the T20I format, particularly this year, including their almost flawless run in the Women’s Asia Cup, could be directly blamed for this.
However, in a recent conversation, India all-rounder Deepti Sharma made it very evident that there isn’t really any pressure on the team. She appeared to be steadfastly focused on the end result, though.
“I wouldn’t say there’s pressure because every player views the T20 World Cup as a major occasion, but I am personally inspired by the men’s team’s victory.
We are performing exceptionally well in every series and competition, so even if I won’t call it pressure, we’ll give it our all.” said Deepti, who was cited.

The seasoned player also described the abrupt change in her social life that happened when India Women participated in the 2017 50-over World Cup. She also discussed the implications a title win might have for women’s cricket going forward.
“Everything about the way we played in the 2017 finals abruptly altered. For me, it feels great because the fans are aware that my name is Deepti Sharma. It’s challenging to walk down some streets or go to the mall. I’m hoping for the best because it’s a wonderful feeling from the 2017 World Cup final, and if we win, obviously, everything will change drastically from every angle and every woman will want to play cricket.” Added Deepti.
The Women in Blue have only made it to the final once, in 2020, in the 20-over global competition. The 2023 competition was excellent as well, but it was not to be as eventual winners Australia defeated India in a hotly contested semifinal.

Given the obvious similarities between the circumstances in the UAE and those back home, it will be interesting to see how India Women fare in the forthcoming 20-over extravaganza.
