India’s elimination marked their earliest exit from the T20 World Cup after finishing in the group stage in 2012, 2014 and 2016. The team won two out of four games but failed to capitalize on the key moments, especially in the tight chase against New Zealand. Australia. Despite being one of the pre-tournament favourites, India have struggled under pressure, raising concerns about their preparation and approach to high-stakes matches.
After losing to Australia, India’s hopes rested on Pakistan defeating New Zealand to create a three-way tie in Group A, where India’s superior net run rate (NRR) could propel them to the semi-finals. However, both India and Pakistan were eliminated by New Zealand’s comprehensive victory over Pakistan, marking a disappointing end to India’s promising campaign.

Despite their (expected) capitulation at the hands of Australia, New Zealand deserved that semi-final slot. India were kicking themselves for a terrible opening day.

It is official. India is out. A fair result. After losing to NZ playing poor cricket and then losing to Aus, India didn’t deserve to qualify.
Time for introspection and then rebuilding. Accept that we were not remarkable for the first step. @RevSportzGlobal #T20Women’s World Cup

It was a breathless game transition. Every time something or the other has happened, it seems only a matter of time before Pakistan is officially eliminated. This means it is now between India and New Zealand for the last spot. If NZ win they are done. If…

Fatima Sana should be really proud of herself and this team. Sure, it wasn’t their field day, but this team will come a long way soon. Fatima will be there to lead her team home another day. Things will be reversed. Protect him and the team at all costs.

This elimination was the best thing that could have happened to the Indian team after last night. Indeed, we did not need a crack-hiding version of Gudrat ka Nizam.
Take it on the chin and get better.

Before the next tournament, if BCCI can figure out how the bowlers chose a very important game (Asia cup final, New Zealand game) to be bullied, it will work. They will perform well in every game, only wearing pants in the most important game.
