Relive the excitement with the top 3 best cricket moments of 2024! The calendar year of 2024 was filled with some great cricketing moments, including an ICC T20 World Cup in the Caribbean, alongside some of the iconic matches across all the formats. The fans witnessed some upsets and unbelievable results on the field in the game of cricket. It included the achievements that initially looked quite impossible but they ended up being real. 

Indian Premier League 2024 and Women’s Premier League 2024 were also the two cricketing carnivals that attracted the eyeballs for some of the iconic results. 

Here are the  top 3 best cricket moments:

1. India’s T20 World Cup win 2024

After getting billions of hopes crushed in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Final against Australia, Rohit Sharma’s India made another unbeaten entry into the final of an ICC tournament. This time, it was the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies, where the men in blue took on South Africa in the tournament’s summit clash. 

India posted a total of 176 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in the allotted 20 overs courtesy of Virat Kohli’s all-important 76 runs. While chasing the target, South Africa were looking comfortable at a moment when they needed 30 runs off the last 30 balls. But it was also the time when things took a drastic turn in India’s fortune owing to a brilliant ‘Bumrah’ over followed by an unforgettable catch by Suryakumar Yadav at the boundary rope in the last over. Eventually, India won the final by 7 runs and ended their 17-year-long wait for a T20 World Cup trophy and a 13-year-long wait for an ICC trophy.

2. Bangladesh’s historic 2-0 Test series win in Pak 

It was almost the middle of the year in August-September when Najmul Hossain Shanto’s Bangladesh toured Pakistan for a two-match Test series. Both the matches of the series were played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. What left the entire cricketing fraternity in an unexpected shock first arrived on August 25 and it was the result of the first Test of the series. 

Bangladesh completely outplayed the hosts and won the first Test by a huge margin of 10 wickets while chasing a nominal target of 30 runs in the fourth innings. The veteran wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim won the ‘Player of the Match award’ for his remarkable 191-run knock in the first innings. 

Later in the second Test of the series, which started on August 30, Bangladesh didn’t give any chance to Pakistan to make a comeback. The tourists were given a low target of 185 by Pakistan in the fourth innings, which they comfortably chased down on the last day of the game. Eventually, Shanto’s men won the game by 6 wickets and registered a historic 2-0 Test series win against Pakistan in Pakistan. It was also the first Test series win for Bangladesh against Pakistan and that too in Pakistan.

3. RCB Women winning the WPL 2024

It happened to be one of the most asked questions in the history of the Indian Premier League about RCB not winning a single trophy since the tournament’s inception in 2008. However, the calendar year of 2024 came up as a year of relief for the RCB fans, but it was not due to the men’s team of the franchise and it came when RCB Women stepped up to give a moment of pride for their fans. 

It all happened when RCB Women led by the star India batter Smriti Mandhana won the title of the Women’s Premier League 2024, beating Delhi Capitals Women by a huge margin of 8 wickets in the tournament’s summit clash. It was the first time that RCB lifted a trophy, be it in the history of IPL or the history of WPL. This iconic moment for the RCB fans can be ranked third in the list of the best 3 cricket moments in 2024.
