Strengths:

Top-Order Firepower: The formidable trio of Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, and Harmanpreet Kaur in the top three does not make it all easy for anyone to blitzkrieg in a flash into the counterattack.

Spin Bowling: The spin quartet of India- Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Poonam Yadav can strangle the opposition batting lineups.

    Weaknesses:

    Inconsistent Middle Order: The middle order of Indians is usually inconsistent. Sometimes, it fails to build upon great starts.

    Pace Bowling: The Indian pace attack is not well developed, and does not have much experience. Thus, the spinners need to perform.

      Key Players:

      Harmanpreet Kaur

      Explosive batting and leadership from the captain will be quite crucial.

      Smriti Mandhana

      Opening-ride consistency is going to play a very important role for Mandhana.

      Shafali Verma

      The 16-year-old firebrand can change the game’s course with her aggressive batting.

        Group Stage Challenges

        India, though, is in Group A, which contains Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka.
