 "Women's T20 World Cup 2024: 'Worst possible result', Netizens react to India's 58-run loss against New Zealand")
The India women’s cricket team got their 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup off to a horrendous start following a 58-run loss to New Zealand in their Group A match in Dubai on Friday. Much was expected from the Women in Blue, but in the end, they were completely outplayed by a confident New Zealand side that excelled across all departments. India were asked to field after New Zealand won the toss.
As it happened | India vs New Zealand, 2024 Women's T20 World Cup Group A
Skipper Sophie Devine led from the front with an unbeaten 57 to propel the White Ferns to 160/4. That total was more than enough for New Zealand, with Rosemary Mair (4/19) and Lea Tahuhu (3/15) sharing seven wickets between them to bowl out India for 102 in 19 overs. Fans and cricket experts were far from pleased with India’s performance on Friday. Here are a few reactions:
Worst possible result for India. In a tough group, such a large defeat can play havoc with NRR. But there are three more games to play and this team has it in them to win those.

Collectively out of form ☹️
And unless they can pull off a special one against Australia, likely to be the end of their SF hopes too...#INDvNZ
