Google Doodle Today: The much-anticipated 9th edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup officially began today, October 3, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). To celebrate the start of this global cricketing event, Google has dedicated a vibrant Doodle, shining a spotlight on the talented women cricketers competing in the tournament.

A stellar effort by senior stars would be mandatory when India take on New Zealand in their opening Group A match of the women's T20 World Cup here on Friday, aiming for a strong start in their quest to wipe off the memories of past near-misses.
