The BCCI felicitated the Indian blind women’s cricket team after its unbeaten title-winning campaign in the inaugural Women’s T20 World Cup for the Blind, praising captain Deepika TC and assuring continued support for future international engagements.
India faced an early setback when Asha Sobhana sustained a knee injury during the warm-up just before the toss. Radha Yadav was brought in as her replacement in the playing XI, with Australia's captain agreeing to the match referee's request for the late change.
