India's Quest For Glory: Assessing Their Chances In ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024

With the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 on its threshold, Team India, led by the adventurous Harmanpreet Kaur, will be geared to face the best of the world. The healthy mix of veteran players and budding talent in the team makes the prospects of getting to hold that precious trophy very bright.

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.

All-Round Depth: Players like Deepti Sharma and Harmanpreet Kaur contribute greatly as well with bat and ball.
