As the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 is in full swing, cricket fans across the globe are experiencing unmissable T20 thrills.
The excitement continues on June 17 as India Women prepare to take on the Netherlands Women in a highly anticipated clash. Headingley, Leeds, is all set to host the encounter live from 7:00 PM (IST).
Coming to the tournament, the India Women had a great start. Facing their arch-rivals, Pakistan Women, in their inaugural clash, they registered a convincing victory.
While batting first, the Women in Blue faced some setbacks, but bounced back later, depending on Smriti Mandhana’s crucial 68 .
Added to that, Richa Ghosh’s fiery 17-ball 34-run innings helped the side put on a total of 170 runs on the board. While defending the target, Deepti Sharma delivered a sensational spell.
She single-handedly turned the game in India’s favour with a brilliant five-wicket haul, restricting Pakistan Women to just 106 runs. With that, the Women in Blue registered a dominating 64-run victory.
On the other hand, the Netherlands Women faced a massive setback in their tournament opener, starting their journey with a heartbreaking defeat.
While batting first in the opening clash against Bangladesh, their batting order struggled. Despite Babatte de Leede’s gritty 50, they ended their innings on 139 runs.
While defending the total, their woes deepened as Bangladesh Women got a sublime touch. Despite the dominance, the Netherlands’ Caroline de Lange delivered an economical spell as she secured two crucial wickets while conceding 27 runs. However, they ended up facing a hefty six-wicket defeat in the clash.
