India suffered a huge defeat at the hands of Australia in the final Group A game of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 by 6 wickets. This was not just another loss, as by virtue of this defeat, the Women in Blue have been knocked out of the tournament as they failed to qualify for the semi-final, finishing third behind the Aussies and South Africa. This is a massive heartbreak for India, as this loss comes just months after they achieved the historic high of winning their first-ever Women’s ODI World Cup back in 2025.
