Mithali said that India’s victory in the T20 World Cup will largely depend on the top order
Former captain Mithali Raj feels that India’s victory in the Women’s T20 World Cup will largely depend on the form of the top order. The legendary batsman also said that Indian bowlers will have to show a lot of improvement in difficult conditions in the tournament starting on Friday in South Africa. Mithali wrote in her column in the ICC (International Cricket Council), “India’s hopes will largely depend on the top order. Smriti Mandhana is playing well and is a match winner. “He said,” Harmanpreet Kaur is also looking in good form but we need other batsmen to score runs to beat Australia and England. ,
The Indian team will take on Pakistan in the opening match of the tournament on February 12 in Cape Town. The team is playing in South Africa and recently finished runner-up in the tri-series which also featured hosts South Africa and the West Indies. Barring the experienced Shikha Pandey, the fast bowling unit of the Indian team will not be that experienced. Mithali said, “Bowling will be tested and this is where you need to improve. ,
He is also hopeful that U-19 World Cup-winning team members Shefali Verma and Richa Ghosh will use the experience they gained playing in similar conditions in this age-group tournament. In Mithali’s opinion, the impressive batting department of defending champions Australia makes them strong contenders to win the title, who are trying to win the trophy for the sixth time. He said, “I think everyone will agree that Australia is a strong contender and it deserves to be a contender. I am looking forward to tight and competitive matches. It is so difficult to beat them because they have got a lot of depth in their batting and their batting line-up is also very good. ,
However, Mithali also feels that India brings out their best against Australia. He said, “We saw recently that when they toured India, the series was very competitive. He said, “Australia are definitely favourites, we have seen India and England playing their best cricket in the knockout stage of the tournament so I will not take them lightly. By the way, India does its best against Australia.
