India began their campaign with a strong performance, defeating Pakistan by seven wickets in their opening match. They followed this with a six-wicket victory over the 2016 champions, West Indies. Although India suffered an 11-run loss to England in their third match, they quickly rebounded, securing a win against Ireland in the final group stage match, which earned them a spot in the semifinals.

India's best showing in the Women's T20 World Cup came in the 2020 edition, held in Australia. In that tournament, India won all four of their group matches to reach the final for the first time. However, they finished as runners-up after being defeated by Meg Lanning's Australian team by 85 runs in the final, which took place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on March 8, 2020.
