India’s Women’s Cricket Team - Performance in 2024 Season
When it comes to international cricket, Indian women have scaled up their performance in 2024 drastically. They have mastered the art of the shortest format of the game.
In 2024, losing to the trophy of the Asia Cup was the biggest disappointment. The overall performance of the team in the tournament was dominating but the final fixture loss can become an inspiration for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
