WATCH: India Women Team enjoys family messages ahead of T20 World Cup opener

Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 started on October 3 and India Women's Team will start their campaign by taking on New Zealand on October 4 as well. Notably, the Indian Women's Team have never won a T20 World Cup trophy and this is their ninth edition of the event as well. Ahead of their tournament opener, the players received good luck messages from their friends and family. 

However, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian team came close to winning the trophy in 2020 but they lost to Australia in the final. As the latest edition of the event is taking place in the United Arab Emirates, the conditions and the strength of the team make them one of the favourites to lift the trophy as well. Meanwhile, BCCI arranged the family messages in a video and presented them to the players who are all set to begin their campaign.

“Hi Smriti we wish you all the best for the upcoming World Cup. We just wanted to let you know and the entire team that we are super proud of you for the hard work you put in day in and day out,” said Mandhana’s family.

“Really proud of my daughter, Shreyanka Patil on being selected for the first T20 World Cup. Congratulations Shreyanka and all the best team India,” said Shryanka’s parents.

However, Team India are placed in Group A along with Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and New Zealand. Meanwhile, Australia are six-time champion and they will enter as the defending champions in the UAE as well. On the other hand, Team India have been preparing hard ahead of the marquee event and they would hope for a positive start right from the first game when they play against New Zealand as well.
