“Yes, without a doubt. Not only were they warm-up games, but before leaving for the World Cup, we made our decision in the camps back in India, according to Amol Muzumdar.
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is well underway, and India’s women are the focus of attention. The Women in Blue will play women from New Zealand to begin their campaign. On Friday, October 4, both teams will square off in the tournament’s fourth game at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Who will bat third for India in the tournament has been discussed several times leading up to this match, but head coach Amol Muzumdar has been evasive on the subject. Harmanpreet Kaur, though, appears to be positioned to finish third for India in the competition.
Indeed. Not only were they warm-up games, but before leaving for the World Cup, we made our decision at the camps back in India. In Bangalore, we had a great time camping. That was where we had made our decision. These World Cup qualifying matches demonstrated that to us. Is this unexpected? No. Amol Muzumdar was cited as saying, “If you can guess, you can go through the scorecards and you will find it.”
In the India women’s squad, several players have held the number three spot. It’s important to remember that Yastika Bhatia, the front-runner for the job, suffered an injury while touring Bangladesh. Yastika did, however, rejoin the team and is included on the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup roster.
Yastika may have to wait for her turn at number three since India women’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur batted there during the warm-up matches for the T20 World Cup. Harmanpreet is likely to bat at three because of her ability to get some runs once put on the crease, even if she didn’t perform well in the warm-up matches.
When Harmanpreet Kaur bats at four or five, on the other hand, she is consistently observed to be chasing the ball. The Indian team is hoping that the top batter can take advantage of her position at number three and show the other team how much faith they have in her.
