Indian women's team in ICC events

The Indian women's cricket team has had a strong performance in ICC events since 2017. In the 2017 Women's World Cup, India made it to the final, where they lost to England. However, this was a significant improvement from their previous performances, and it marked the emergence of a talented young Indian team. In 2018, the Indian women's team reached the final of the Asia Cup T20 tournament, where they lost to Bangladesh. The following year, India made it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, where they were defeated by eventual champions Australia.

In 2020, India made it to the final of the T20 World Cup once again, this time held in Australia. They were once again defeated by Australia, but their strong performance in reaching the final was a testament to the growing strength of the Indian women's cricket team. In recent years, the Indian women's cricket team has seen a surge of young and talented players, such as Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, who have helped establish the team as one of the strongest in the world. With a combination of experienced players and young talent, the Indian women's cricket team is poised for continued success in ICC events.

LIVE IND vs PAK World Cup Updates: Rodrigues named player of the match

Jemimah Rodrigues won the Player of the Match award for her performance against Pakistan.

"I don’t know what to say. I knew building partnerships, taking it deep we’d end up chasing. Richa and I have built a partnership against Bangladesh, and we could do this today. This innings is really special to me, I haven’t been getting runs for a while but I’ve stuck to his processes. God is grateful, he takes care of the rest. I want to dedicate this to my parents, they are here at the stadium. This knock goes out to them. We just needed 10 an over, we were going over by over and we knew they would bowl a loose ball so that is what we had to punish. We knew we’d win if we stayed till the end. We’re very happy we’ve won this, momentum is on our side and now we just need to do the simple things correctly and consistently."

An incredible display of cricket was witnessed today. Nashra Sandhu dominated for Pakistan by taking out India's top two batters, Shafali and Harmanpreet, without giving up a single boundary in her spell. The run rate was over 10, but Richa stepped up to support Jemimah when she was struggling. Ayesha Naseem put India in a tough spot with an 18-run over, but Richa fired back with a 14-run over. By this point, Jemimah had found her form. With only 14 runs needed in the final two overs, Jemimah confidently declared that she only needed one over and delivered, leading her team to victory and earning a half-century in the process.
