New Delhi, Nov 9 (IANS) Jemimah Rodrigues admitted that the Indian team’s performances in the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup were not as strong as they should have been. In the tournament held in the UAE last month, India suffered a group-stage exit for the first time since 2016.

But a nine-run loss to Australia and Pakistan’s subsequent loss to New Zealand sent India home early from the competition.
