The Indian women's cricket team, alongside head coach Amol Muzumdar, has sent heartfelt wishes to the men's squad ahead of the highly anticipated ICC Men's T20 World Cup final against New Zealand. The crucial match is scheduled to take place on Sunday evening at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Milestones at Stake for Men's Team

This pursuit of glory adds immense significance to the upcoming clash.
Women's Team Champions Inspire with Video Message
In a show of solidarity, the women's team, which clinched its first ICC title last November by defeating South Africa in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 final at Dr. DY Patil Stadium, expressed unwavering support. The Board of Control for Cricket in India Women shared an inspiring video on social media platform X, featuring motivational messages from coach Muzumdar and players Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, and Sneh Rana.
The video's caption highlighted the connection between the two teams: "From one Team India that clinched a World Cup at home to the other going for World Cup glory at home tonight."
