India’s women’s blind cricket team created history by winning the first-ever Blind Women’s T20 World Cup, defeating Nepal by seven wickets in the final at Colombo’s P. Saravanamuttu Stadium. The victory capped off a flawless campaign where India remained unbeaten throughout the tournament.

India chose to field first and restricted Nepal to 114 for 5 in 20 overs. Nepal struggled to find boundaries, managing only one in their entire innings. Sarita Ghimire was the standout performer for Nepal, scoring 35 runs off 38 balls, but India’s disciplined bowling kept the total in check.

Chasing the target, India’s batting was dominant and assured. Opener Phula Saren played a match-winning knock of 44 runs off 27 balls, hitting four boundaries. Her aggressive stroke play set the tone, and India comfortably reached the target in just 12.1 overs, with 47 balls to spare.

This triumph was the culmination of India’s consistent performances across the tournament. In the semi-final, they registered a commanding nine-wicket victory, underlining their strength and depth. The win also comes shortly after India’s women’s blind team defeated South Africa in Navi Mumbai, marking two landmark achievements in quick succession.

The victory is not just about lifting a trophy it represents a breakthrough moment for women’s blind cricket. India’s unbeaten run and dominant final performance have set a new benchmark, inspiring fans and proving that passion and determination can overcome any barrier.
