India Clinch Inaugural Blind Women’s T20 World Cup Title

India recorded a landmark achievement by winning the first-ever Blind Women’s T20 World Cup, defeating Nepal by seven wickets in a commanding final performance at Colombo’s P. Saravanamuttu Stadium. The triumph completed India’s unbeaten run in a tournament co-hosted across New Delhi, Bengaluru and Colombo.

Dominant Bowling Performance in the Final

India chose to field first and quickly established control. Nepal were held to 114 for 5 in 20 overs, managing only a single boundary in the entire innings. Sarita Ghimire’s 35 off 38 balls held the Nepal innings together, but constant pressure from India’s B1, B2 and B3 bowlers ensured the scoring rate remained subdued throughout.

Clinical Chase Led by Phula Saren

The target was chased down with authority. India reached 117 for 3 in 12.1 overs, with Phula Saren delivering a decisive 44 off 27 balls. Her innings, which included four boundaries, eliminated any tension and kept India far ahead of the required run rate. The batting display reflected the confidence gained from a flawless league phase.

India’s Unbeaten Journey to the Trophy

India’s campaign featured victories over Sri Lanka, Australia, Nepal, the United States and Pakistan in the group stage. The team reinforced its dominance with a nine-wicket win against Australia in the semifinal. Nepal advanced to the final after edging out Pakistan, but struggled to match India’s consistency and discipline in the championship match.
