India have unveiled their squads for a five T20I and three ODI series in England starting June 28. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the teams across both formats in what will be a crucial tour with a women's World Cup this year at home and T20 World Cup in England next year.
Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Harmanpreet Kaur credited her team’s disciplined execution after they secured their first victory of the 2025 Women’s Premier League (WPL), defeating Gujarat Giants (GG) by five wickets at the Kotambi Stadium here on Tuesday.
Despite a strong middle-over acceleration, the Mumbai Indians lost wickets in clusters, with Annabel Sutherland (3.1-0-34-3) and Shikha Pandey (4-0-14-2) leading the bowling charge for Delhi.
Ahead of the start of the third edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur believes the five-team tournament has been a big reason behind the strike rate of all batters becoming better in the ongoing 2024/25 domestic season.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership abilities will be of great significance in Mumbai Indians (MI) reclaiming their first-season glory during the upcoming WPL 2025 season, starting on February 14.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur's unbeaten 54* went in vain as Australia beat India by nine runs in Group A match to reach Women's T20 World Cup semi-finals on Sunday.
The 2020 runners-up and four-time semi-finalists are seeking to go all the way in the UAE having been boosted by warm-up wins over the West Indies and South Africa.
Previously, India suffered a disappointing loss in the 2020 T20 World Cup final against Australia and narrowly missed out on victory in the 2017 ODI World Cup, falling just nine runs short against England.
The Women’s T20 World Cup, starting Oct 3, presents another chance to end Indian team’s wait for a global title
While the men’s team won the title after 17 years and lifted an ICC trophy after 11 years, the women’s outfit is yet to lift the T20 World Cup, and came close in the 2020 edition, when they were runners-up in Australia.
