The Indian women’s cricket team stars Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma, alongside team coach Amol Mazumdar, sent heartfelt wishes to the Men in Blue for their ICC T20 World Cup final against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on Sunday (Mar 8). The Suryakumar-led Indian Team will defend its T20 crown on home soil, vying to become the first team to win back-to-back T20 WCs, at home and for the record third time. Meanwhile, the Kiwis are chasing their first ICC white-ball trophy since the 1998 Champions Trophy title.
With Indian Cricket booming since the past three years, including winning the 2024 T20 World Cup edition, next year’s Champions Trophy and the maiden Women’s ODI World Cup, bagging a fourth ICC title in two years would be no less than a massive achievement.

Indian Team chases history
No team has won the T20 World Cup three times, with three teams tied with two titles each: India, England, and the West Indies. Enroute to the tournament final, also co-hosted by Sri Lanka, India beat the mighty West Indies in their last Super 8 game before narrowly beating England in the second semifinal in Mumbai to enter successive finals.
New Zealand, on the other hand, were the second-best side in Group 2 in Super 8s and made it to the final by beating the Proteas in a lop-sided contest in Kolkata. It’s the second time they have made the final of a T20 World Cup, having earlier qualified during the 2021 edition in the UAE, where they lost to Australia in the summit clash.
