Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian women's cricket team, has expressed optimism as her squad prepares for the Women's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh from October 3-20. Despite previous near-misses, Kaur believes that the team has finally ticked all the necessary boxes to achieve success.

India has a history of falling short in crucial moments, with their only final appearance ending in a loss to Australia in 2020. However, Kaur is confident this campaign will be different, thanks to extensive fitness and fielding training camps at the National Cricket Academy. Head coach Muzumdar emphasized the comprehensive preparation, which included the involvement of a sports psychologist.

The main challenges are expected from England and Australia, teams that have proven themselves formidable in ICC events. Nonetheless, Kaur remains confident in her team's potential to compete against any opponent.
