Former India head coach WV Raman believes the Indian women’s cricket team has the quality and balance needed to win the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup. He also feels the side must improve its new-ball game to increase their chances.
India have made a strong start to the tournament and currently are at the top of Group A with four points. In an interview with PTI, Raman said the team needs clarity over its pace-bowling combination, especially during the powerplay and the death overs.
“I think this is a very formidable side,” Raman said. “The batting is strong. And they have a lot of experience in the spin department. This team has the potential to win the T20 World Cup too.”
He further added, “If there are any areas of concern, they will probably be the ability to pick up wickets in the powerplay or the fast bowling combination – specifically, who will bowl with the new ball and at the end of the innings.”
Raman also praised captain Harmanpreet Kaur for her growth as a leader. “Harman has become a lot more patient over the years,” Raman said. “And that’s what experience does to any cricketer. It makes them mature. During my tenure, she was one who could get irritated easily. And she would also wear her heart on her sleeve.”
India will next face South Africa in Manchester on June 21.
