Are India the 'Chokers' in Women's Cricket?

The dream is over!

India crashed out of the Women's T20 World Cup with a 5-run defeat against the reigning Champions, Australia.

Heartbreaks at ICC events have become commonplace for the Women in Blue, who continue to chase the elusive dream of an ICC trophy.

In 2017, they failed right at the final hurdle against hosts England in the ODI World Cup. In fact, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, losing their last 7 wickets for just 28 to fall short by 9 runs.

At the 2020 T20 World Cup, they surrendered to the Aussie onslaught. Chasing a massive 185-run target, the team was shot out for 99.

Cut to 2022, Mithali Raj's team failed to even qualify for the knockouts at the ODI World Cup in New Zealand.

While they did manage to reach the final of the Commonwealth Games months later, they succumbed to pressure yet again.

Chasing 162 for victory, India were cruising at 118/2, only to lose their final 8 wickets for just 34 runs, with Australia taking the Gold.

And in Cape Town on Thursday, when Indian fans were hoping & praying for a different outcome this time around, the Women in Blue faltered. And the dream was shattered once again! WATCH HIGHLIGHTS
