Women’s 20-20 World Cup 2023: Three main concerns for Team India
India women’s team is searching for their maiden 20-20 World Cup title in the upcoming tournament in South Africa. Notably, their junior counterparts did it during the U19 20-20 World Cup 2023 in the rainbow nation. Now, the senior side will be looking to repeat the recent glory. Not to forget, India Men’s only title in the shortest format came in South Africa in 2007.
Meanwhile, ahead of the tournament, the India women’s team has a few concerns ahead of the tournament. They would need to address these issues if they are looking forward to winning their maiden World Championship title across formats. In this listicle, we will discuss three issues the team needs to address in order to lift the trophy on February 26.
Three issues India needs to address before the Women’s 20-20 World Cup 2023
1. Middle-Order
Talking about the top-order batting, players such as Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma can turn the heat on. However, in the middle order, they have players such as skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, and Jemimah Rodrigues. On the other hand, Richa Ghosh is the finisher in the team.
This clearly indicates how India lacks good middle-order options. Players such as Harleen Deol and Yastika Bhatia haven’t made much of an impact with the bat at the highest level. The Women In Blue would want them to do much better than they have so far.
