Team India will begin their Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against New Zealand in Dubai on 4 October. New Zealand is counted among the heavyweights in WT20Is; however, the Indian team has been on the rise for the last 7 to 8 years. In the last three editions of the WT20 World Cup, India finished as a semi-finalist on two occasions and a finalist in the 2020 edition. So this match is going to be a clash of titans, as two heavyweights of Group A would like to start their journey on a positive note. Winning this match is important for both teams because India and New Zealand are direct rivals from qualifying from this group to the next stage. This is why this match becomes a direct four-pointer game; whoever wins this game will have a better chance of reaching the next level from this group.
