Confident India target rare World Cup double in England

New Delhi, June 11 (UNI) India will enter the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 with genuine expectations of lifting the trophy, as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side looks to build on last year’s historic ODI World Cup triumph and establish itself as a dominant force in world cricket.
The tournament, which begins in England on Friday, is expected to be the most competitive edition yet. While six-time champions Australia remain one of the favourites, the gap between the traditional powerhouse and the chasing pack has narrowed considerably over the last few years.
India’s rise has been one of the biggest reasons for that shift. Having ended their long wait for a senior ICC title with victory in the ODI World Cup last year, the team now arrives in England carrying both confidence and belief. Success in the 50-over format has removed much of the mental burden that often accompanied previous World Cup campaigns.
