The 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup was held in the UAE, with ten teams competing, including India. Australia has been the most successful team, winning six titles. Other teams like England, the West Indies, and now New Zealand have also won the tournament, each claiming one title. India reached its first final in 2020, but lost to Australia.

In the 2024 final, New Zealand won their first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title by defeating South Africa by 32 runs. The match took place at Dubai International Stadium, where New Zealand posted a total of 158/5. Amelia Kerr and Rosemary Mair were the stars of the game, taking three wickets each and restricting South Africa to 126/9. This win was a huge moment for New Zealand after coming close in previous tournaments.

For South Africa, it was a second heartbreak in the final, as they also lost to Australia in the 2023 final. The 2024 tournament was the ninth edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup, and the growing competition among teams is evident. India, South Africa, and other nations have consistently reached the knockout stages, showing the rising level of women’s cricket.

In the 2020 tournament, players like Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Harmanpreet Kaur helped India reach the final for the first time. However, Australia was too strong and won by 85 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

As the interest in women’s cricket continues to grow worldwide, teams are becoming more competitive, leading to exciting tournaments and matches.
