Team India are gearing up for the Women’s T20 World Cup starting February 10 in South Africa.
Former India skipper Mithali Raj has shared her thoughts on India’s chances of winning the World Cup. She believes that a lot will depend on how India’s top-order performs in the tournament.
“India’s chances will be largely dependent on the top order. Smriti Mandhana is playing well and is a match winner,” said former India skipper as reported by the ICC.
“I am excited about some of the young players coming through and there is definitely some talent in the Under-19s team which I had the chance to see play at the inaugural ICC Under-19s Women’s T20 World Cup.”
She said, “I think everyone would agree that Australia are the favourites, and deservedly so. I am expecting tight, competitive matches. They are so difficult to beat because they bat deep and have an excellent batting line-up.”
