India Lifts First Blind Women’s T20 World Cup After Dominant Unbeaten Campaign

India Wins First Blind Women’s T20 World Cup After Unbeaten Run

India scripted a landmark moment in cricket history by winning the inaugural Blind Women’s T20 World Cup , defeating Nepal convincingly by seven wickets in the final at P. Saravanamuttu Stadium, Colombo . The tournament, co-hosted in New Delhi, Bengaluru and Colombo, showcased the rising strength and visibility of blind women’s cricket on the global stage.

Disciplined Bowling Restricts Nepal

Electing to field, India’s bowlers delivered a commanding performance from the outset. Nepal were limited to 114/5 in their 20 overs , managing only a single boundary throughout the innings. Nepal’s Sarita Ghimire anchored the scorecard with a patient 35 off 38 balls, but consistent accuracy from India’s B1, B2 and B3 classified bowlers prevented any scoring momentum. The disciplined effort highlighted India’s strategic clarity and superior field placements.

Confident Chase Led by Phula Saren

India’s batting unit approached the chase with composure and aggression. Phula Saren played the standout knock of the final, smashing 44 from 27 balls , including four boundaries. Her fluent innings kept India well ahead of the target, as the team wrapped up the chase at 117/3 in 12.1 overs . The run pursuit mirrored India’s assured performances throughout the tournament.

Unbeaten Record Throughout the Championship

India’s dominance was evident across all stages. The team recorded wins against Sri Lanka, Australia, Nepal, the United States and Pakistan in the league phase. A resounding nine-wicket victory over Australia in the semifinal further reinforced their unmatched consistency and depth.
