India's Women's T20 World Cup Hopes: Kaur's Confidence and Preparation

Indian Women's cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is primed for the T20 World Cup in UAE starting October 3. Despite past near misses and stiff competition from England and Australia, comprehensive preparation in fitness, fielding, and mental conditioning aims to tilt the odds in India's favor.

The shadow of near-misses looms large over Harmanpreet Kaur, but the Indian captain asserts that her team is prepared for the Women's T20 World Cup kicking off in UAE on October 3.

Since the tournament's 2009 inception, India reached the final only once in 2020, bowing to Australia. Kaur, part of both previous finalist teams and captain in 2020, believes this squad has bridged gaps from previous editions.

Comprehensive training focusing on fitness, fielding, and mental conditioning has bolstered India's readiness. Head Coach Muzumdar emphasized the team's rigorous preparation. Despite lack of recent game time, India's unit, featuring top-order batting depth, aims to overcome formidable opponents like England and Australia.
