India’s Women’s T20 World Cup Preparations Emphasize Mental Strength

As the Indian women’s cricket team prepares for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the UAE, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has highlighted the crucial role of mental strength in executing their plans.

Kaur, who has led India to numerous victories, believes that the last few overs of a T20 match are pivotal. “The last 3-4 overs are the most crucial. T20 cricket is not a small format; at the end of the day, you are playing 40 overs. In the last 4-5 overs, the team that is mentally strong wins the match,” she said.

The Indian team has been working diligently on their mental fortitude. “We have been focusing on this for a while. If we can remain mentally stable in those final 5 overs, we can execute what’s best for us. We are working on those aspects, and hopefully, we will overcome this hurdle in the tournament,” Kaur added.

India’s squad for the T20 World Cup includes experienced players like Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, and Jemimah Rodrigues. They will face tough competition in Group A, which includes Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

In the previous edition of the T20 World Cup, India reached the semi-finals but lost to eventual champions Australia. Kaur is determined to improve on that performance and lead her team to glory.

“We have a good team, and we are confident of doing well in the tournament. We have been working hard, and we are ready to give our best,” she said.

India will kickstart their campaign against New Zealand on October 4, followed by a highly anticipated clash with Pakistan on October 6. The tournament promises to be an exciting spectacle of women’s cricket, and India will be eager to make a mark on the global stage.

Reflecting the #AaRangDeDilli theme, the new RDTs come in four vibrant color stories: pink and orange for men, and purple and red for women.

“Running has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sports in India,” said Karthik Balagopalan, Managing Director of PUMA India. “PUMA India is constantly looking for opportunities to engage with this dynamic community.

India Women Aim to Emulate Men's T20 World Cup Triumph

India Women Aim to Emulate Men’s T20 World Cup Triumph

By August 27, 2024 0

India’s women’s cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is drawing inspiration from the men’s team’s recent T20 World Cup triumph as they prepare for their own campaign in the UAE in October. The women’s team has yet to lift the T20 World Cup, coming close in 2020 when they finished as runners-up in Australia.

“We have been really inspired by the men’s team, the way they won the T20 World Cup this year,” Kaur said. “They worked really hard for this trophy and won some tough matches. We need to learn how they maintained their body language for such matches and how they approached such games.”

The women’s team has faced heartbreak in recent major tournaments, losing the ODI World Cup final in 2017, the T20 World Cup final in 2020, and the Commonwealth Games final in 2022, all by narrow margins. They also suffered a disappointing defeat to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup last month.

However, Kaur is confident that her team has learned from their mistakes and is ready to challenge for the title in the UAE. “We are working extremely hard to live up to those expectations, we have been holding camps where all players are working hard. We have also worked on the mistakes we made the last time. Now we’re ready with a positive mindset.”

India is placed in Group A with Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Pakistan for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Kaur acknowledges the pressure of facing these strong teams but emphasizes the importance of staying focused and playing to their potential.

“The World Cup is a kind of tournament for which all teams prepare differently,” Kaur said. “So no team can be taken lightly and similarly no team should be overestimated either. We are working extremely hard to live up to those expectations.”

India’s campaign will kick off on October 4 against New Zealand, before taking on Pakistan on October 6, Sri Lanka on October 9, and Australia on October 13. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals on October 17 and 18, with the final scheduled for October 20 in Dubai.

Harmanpreet Kaur Confident of India's Maiden World Cup Triumph

Harmanpreet Kaur Confident of India’s Maiden World Cup Triumph

By August 27, 2024 0

Harmanpreet Kaur, the skipper of the Indian women’s cricket team, exudes confidence in her team’s ability to clinch their maiden global title at the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. She believes that the playing conditions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the tournament has been relocated due to political instability in Bangladesh, could favor the Indian side.

Despite the change in venue, Harmanpreet remains unfazed, stating that the conditions in the UAE are similar to those in India. “We have not played much cricket in the UAE, but the conditions are going to be similar to Indian conditions,” she said. “We will see how the conditions play out and try to adjust ourselves as soon as possible.”

Harmanpreet emphasized the importance of a positive and assertive approach throughout the World Cup. “As a team, we learn from our defeats and break those barriers that are pushing us back. Hopefully, this time we can express ourselves in a more positive way in the World Cup,” she said.

She expressed confidence in the Indian bowling attack, despite their struggles in the recent Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka. “The bowlers are working really hard as a team and, hopefully, in this World Cup, we tick all the boxes,” she said.

Harmanpreet, who led Mumbai Indians to victory in the inaugural Women’s Premier League (WPL), stressed the significance of staying focused on the present moment. “It is always important for us to play good cricket, keeping ourselves in the present. Whatever the situation is in front of us, we go there and evaluate it as soon as possible,” she said.

The Indian women’s cricket team has consistently performed well in major tournaments, reaching the final of the 2020 T20 World Cup and the semifinals of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup. Harmanpreet’s leadership and the team’s determination to break the final barrier and secure their first global title will be crucial in their quest for glory in the upcoming tournament.

India’s Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Preparations Begin with Fitness Camp

By August 11, 2024 0

India’s Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 preparations are underway with a fitness and conditioning camp in Bengaluru. The camp, which will focus on fielding and fitness, will feature a large squad of probables, excluding those currently playing in the Women’s Hundred or Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL).

The Indian team will not have any international cricket before the World Cup, which will be held from October 3 to 20. The India A team is currently in Australia for a multi-format series.

Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, and Richa Ghosh will miss the first camp due to their Hundred commitments, while Jemimah Rodrigues will be playing in the WCPL for Trinbago Knight Riders.

The camp will also include sessions with a sports psychologist, as requested by captain Harmanpreet Kaur. The psychologist will help players address challenges and cope with pressure and mental fatigue.

The squad for the World Cup will reconvene in early September for an intense skill-based camp. India will be aiming to win the World Cup for the first time after falling short in previous tournaments, including the 2020 final and 2022 semi-finals against Australia.

Shreyanka Patil, who suffered a finger injury during the Women’s Asia Cup, is expected to recover in time for the tournament and will participate in the conditioning camp. Yastika Bhatia, who is recovering from a knee injury, is also expected to continue her rehabilitation at the NCA.

The selectors are prioritizing a spin-based squad, but the uncertainty surrounding the host venue due to security concerns in Bangladesh may also impact the pace bowling group.

Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar are the regular pacers, while Arundhati Reddy is pushing for a spot after impressive performances in the domestic season and the WPL. Meghna Singh and Titas Sadhu are also in contention.

The fast-bowling group will be guided by Troy Cooley, the former Australia fast bowler who is a bowling consultant at the NCA. The group will play intra-squad games in September before departing for the World Cup.
