In the last 12 months the team was gelling up well. It has a right balance of youth experience and raw aggression that is visible in all three departments – batting, bowling and fielding.The Indian eves will have to keep in mind five crucial points in order to etch their names in history of the women’s World Cup.
Firstly, with the best spinners in form having delivered in a place where swing and seam thrives, India’s Deepti Sharma registered an excellent bowling performance taking three wickets in 8.3 overs while conceeding 47 runs.
Secondly, in the league match against England, India had their tails up especially when setting targets, where Smriti Mandhana, Poonam Raut and Mithali Raj posted a total of 247 in a victory against England.
Thirdly, India’s rotation in players is emerging to lead the charge towards victory. In a gradual process staring off with Mandhana and Raut shifting to Mithali, Ekta Bisht and Rajeshwari and now the focus is successfully on Harmanpreet Kaur that seems to be the right action at the right time.
