The blend of cricket and celebration reminded fans of how deeply the sport connects with Indian culture and festivals. However, Diwali weekend wasn’t all joyful for cricket followers as India suffered a 7-wicket defeat to Australia in the first ODI at Perth, and later that evening, the India Women’s team fell short by just 4 runs against England in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 and despite these disappointments, the festive season offered a much-needed reason to smile again.

With the Festival being celebrated over 5 days, the fans will be looking forward to see a fresh start from their teams once the holidays are over.
