Women's T20 World Cup 2024: IND-W vs SL-W playing 11, live time, streaming

The Women in Blue, who have one win and one loss in the two games, will look to secure a huge win over the Sri Lankan team to keep their semifinal hopes alive and improve improve their net run rate.

Women's T20 WC, IND vs SL Preview: Will India register a big vs Sri Lanka?

On a sticky wicket after a mixed start to the campaign, India will look to fix their batting woes to bolster their net run rate when they take on bottom-placed Sri Lanka in their third and penultimate Group A match of the T20 Women's World Cup here on Wednesday. It has not been smooth sailing for the Indians in the showpiece event so far, having lost to New Zealand by 58 runs in their tournament-opener and then scampering home in 18.5 overs against arch-rivals Pakistan while chasing a modest 105. India's main problem in the tournament so far is the performance of their batters, especially the explosive opening combination of Shafali Verma and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana. While Shafali scored just 2 and 32 in the first two games, Mandhana also faired poorly managing 12 and 7 runs. And it's time the duo fires in unison to ease the pressure on the middle-order. To make matters worse for India, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored 15 and 29 retired hurt, is doubtful for the match aga

Smriti Mandhana says India was not focusing on NRR against Pakistan

India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana defended her team's ultra-defensive batting approach in a chase of 106 runs against Pakistan which might have greatly dented their chances of reaching the Women's T20 World Cup semi-final. India struggled to reach the winning target losing four wickets with only seven balls to spare and the entire innings had five boundaries compared to Pakistan's eight. Shafali Varma played 35 balls for her 32 while Jemimah Rodrigues consumed 28 balls while reaching a painstaking 23. It was skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, whose 29 before getting retired hurt finally guided India to victory. "A better start with the bat would have been good, but we will take that win," said Mandhana at the post-match presentation ceremony admitting that they "did think about" net run-rate. Before the Pakistan game, India's NRR was -2.90 and after the win, it has marginally improved to -1.217 which is inferior compared to Pakistan's -0.555. "Me and Shafali could not time the ball," she

Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana believes they fell 10 to 15 runs short

Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana admitted that her side was 15 runs short of a winning total in a six-wicket defeat to arch-rivals India in a women's T20 World Cup match here on Sunday. Asked to bowl, a disciplined India restricted Pakistan to 105 for eight but then adopted an overcautious approach while batting before skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's 24-ball 29 helped them achieve the target of 106 in 18.5 overs and register their first win of the tournament. "Actually, starting with the bat, I think we were short like 10-15 runs in the batting because the pitch was good so we have to perform according to the pitch. So yes, we shall try in the next match so we can utilise the wicket properly," Sana said at the post-match press conference. Sana felt that anything above 130 would have been a winning score. "...the pitches were slow. If we had gone to a maximum of 130, 140, I think we would have scored a good score. "It's a low-bounce pitch. And we didn't utilise powerplay as we should have,

Arundhati Reddy says India will now focus on improving net run rate

India medium-pacer Arundhati Reddy on Sunday said the team's focus will be on boosting the net run rate in the upcoming matches of the Women's T20 World Cup, having failed to do so in the six-wicket victory over Pakistan here. The 27-year-old Reddy was the star of the day as she returned excellent figures of 3/19 to help India restrict Pakistan to 105 for eight. The Indian batters' overcautious approach nearly cost them the match before skipper Harmanpreet Kaur used her years of experience to bail the team out. "We understand net run rate is important but also winning the game is all the more important for us. Like you said again net run rate will be in play especially in this group," Reddy said at the post-match press conference. "Honestly today the wicket was playing a little slower. So obviously, the batters could not. The main thing was to finish the game. But we've discussed about it (net run rate). And we're looking forward to improve on it in the next few games." Before the

Every match from now on will be crucial in Women's T20 WC, says Jemimah

Middle-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues urged India to move on from the forgettable defeat against New Zealand and focus on the upcoming matches, which she termed as crucial for her side's survival in the Women's T20 World Cup. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side crashed to a heavy 58-run defeat against the Kiwis on Friday night, and the Women in Blue will now face cross-border rivals Pakistan on Sunday in the second Group A match. This would be the game we would like to forget, because this is a World Cup. We need to keep moving on and keep picking ourselves up. We can't stay stuck at this game. I think that will show the character of this team, Rodrigues said in the post-match press meet. Rodrigues exhorted the team not to get panicked but to focus on the process that earned it some good wins in the past. We have been doing really well as a team, sticking to the process and taking one game at a time. We know every game from here is so crucial for us. We're going to go one game at a time

Women's T20 WC IND vs PAK preview: India look to iron out combination flaws

India will have to regroup quickly and iron out the imbalances in team combination when they face arch-rivals Pakistan in a crucial second group A match of the Women's T20 World Cup here on Sunday. An early 58-run defeat to New Zealand on Friday has not just dented India's chances of entering the semifinals of the ICC showpiece, but it certainly has pushed them to a tight corner. India's run-rate currently stands at a poor -2.99 and it makes big victories mandatory for them in the remaining three matches against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side was wretched in all three departments of the game against the Kiwis in its World Cup opener, and India now need a reversal within 24 hours. It's tough but that is the path they have to tread against Pakistan, high on confidence after beating a strong Sri Lanka in the first match on Thursday. As a first step, India will have to sort out their combinations ahead of the Pakistan game. They went a batter light .
