Australia defeated India by six wickets in the ICC T20 Women's World Cup on Sunday, June 28, 2026, to eliminate India from the tournament and advance to the semi-finals.

India's hopes of securing their maiden Women's T20 World Cup title were ended, raising questions about captain Harmanpreet Kaur's future. This result marks a setback for India's cricket ambitions despite their recent One-Day International World Cup triumph.

  • India won the 2025 One-Day International World Cup but failed to complete the double in the T20 format.
  • Ellyse Perry has been Australia's leading cricket player for over a decade, topping world rankings in both batting and bowling.
  • The T20 format limits matches to just two hours, creating a fast-paced game style that demands aggressive strategies.
