In 2022, India played an excellent brand of T20 cricket. The Women in Blue placed second at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and went on to win an ODI series in England. In the three-match T20 series, India also thrashed Sri Lanka.
Their only defeat came in the shortest format versus England. Aside from that, India has done well. Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana are leading the charge. The majority of runs have been scored by the two veterans. Jemimah Rodrigues is likewise in great shape. Renuka Thakur, Radha Yadav, and Meghna Singh appear to be potent bowlers.
