Crucial Tri Series

ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 is scheduled to take place in February just after the conclusion of the Tri-Series. India and West Indies would be hoping that they quickly get acclimatized to the conditions. It won’t be wrong to say that Proteas is in a phase of the reconstruction as the team has not performed according to its credentials. West Indies on the other hand would sense that they can be the party spoilers in the T20 WC.

Indian Women’s Cricket team is high on confidence after winning the Asia Cup 2022. They have a golden chance to win the T20 World Cup and would be hoping that they go one step ahead as last time they had lost in 2020 against Australia. India is placed in a dangerous position of the West Indies, England, Ireland and Pakistan and it would be a great contest. Indian Cricket Team has shown that they are unbeatable on their day and would be hoping that they continue their momentum.
