ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: India has a strong leader for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the form of Harmanpreet Kaur, who feels “quite confident” about her squad. Talking about the team’s experience, three-quarters of the 15 players shortlisted have already played in the World Cup. In contrast, others Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, and S Sajana are forced to debut after sensational performances in the recently concluded Women’s Premier League.

“If I talk about this team, we have a few players who have been playing for a long time and they know their roles really well,” Harmanpreet said at the pre-departure press conference in Mumbai. “I can say that this is the best team we are going for a T20 World Cup with.

“Pooja is doing well and Renuka is supporting her really well. Renuka is someone who is always giving us breakthroughs. Arundhati is someone who can always come and bowl a few overs for the team and bat in the deep. I can’t compare our bowling line-up with other teams because every team has its own positives and negatives, but I’m quite confident in my team. I know what they are doing and what they are capable of.”

India played the T20I series against a good set of opponents ahead of the World Cup, including Australia, England, South Africa, and Bangladesh and Asia Cup. Generally, it managed to hold its ground, such as it did when losing to both England and Australia 2-1 apiece, but impressed with a clean sweep of 5-0 over Bangladesh. The one game abandoned meant that the South Africa series was tied at 1-1, but in a shocking turn of events, Sri Lanka started brightly in the Asia Cup by winning their first title there, upstaging India in the final.

“During the Asia Cup, we played really good cricket, if I talk about the entire tournament,” Harmanpreet said. “It was just one odd game that day when things didn’t go according to the way we wanted. We sat and discussed how we wanted to work on our shortcomings in the camps and where we can improve if next time these kinds of situations arise.”
