Now that India has won the Women’s World Cup, former Australian cricketer Steve Waugh has forecast a significant boost for women’s cricket in India. With their first-ever Women’s World Cup victory, the Women in Blue recently made history. They achieved this on Sunday, November 2, when they won the summit match at Navi Mumbai, defeating South Africa by 52 runs.
Following three consecutive losses in the league phase, Steve Waugh praised the way the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team recovered. He also praised the World Cup-winning team for serving as role models for the nation’s young, aspirational girls.
It’s wonderful to see that women’s sports in general are becoming more and more popular worldwide. India’s World Cup victory is an incredible accomplishment, particularly considering how brilliantly they played in the crucial matches despite dropping a few earlier games. These days, they have a lot of support and serve as role models for young Indian ladies. The path to become a professional cricket player, representing your nation, and participating in professional sports is obvious.
According to India Today, Steve Waugh said, “I think women’s cricket in India is just about to boom and take off.”
India had seven points from seven games at the end of the round-robin stage, placing them in fourth place. They had three victories and three defeats. Rain caused their most recent league game against Bangladesh to terminate without a result.
India had to play South Africa in the crucial final at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy after the co-hosts defeated Australia by a record 339 runs. India joined teams like England and New Zealand in winning the Women’s World Cup on their home ground thanks to a brilliant performance that day.
Next year, India’s women’s cricket team will travel to Australia on an all-format trip. Three T20Is, three ODIs, and one Test will make up the series. Prior to that, the fourth Women’s Premier League installment will feature nearly the whole women’s team as well as additional Indian cricket players. On November 27, New Delhi will host the massive auction for the same.
