“Women’s cricket has been playing a different brand of cricket over the last couple of years. They’re performing really well. But against Pakistan, if they continue like this and stay fully focused, I’m sure mission 12-0 is possible,” Yadav said.

I'm Sure They Can Make It 12-0 - Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav stated that the positive environment at the Centre of Excellence has boosted the team’s confidence. He also highlighted the one-sided nature of the India-Pakistan rivalry in women’s cricket, noting that Pakistan have not posed a significant challenge.

“I spoke to the captain a few days ago. The team is in good shape, and the camp at the Centre of Excellence has created a positive culture. When the mood is good, wins naturally follow,” Yadav further stated.

“If you talk about rivalry, it’s when two teams play 12 games and the score is 6-6 or 7-5. But 11-0 is not a rivalry. Pakistan hasn’t been able to beat us in recent times, in men’s or women’s cricket,” he stated candidly. “If the women focus completely on their game, I’m sure they can make it 12-0.”

Suryakumar Yadav Predicts the Game-Changer in India-Pakistan Clash

Suryakumar Yadav predicted Deepti Sharma as a potential match-winner against Pakistan. He noted that if an all-rounder doesn’t make an impact with the bat, they can influence the game with the ball.

“I am a batsman but I always think that an all-rounder’s role is very important in a team. If an all-rounder can’t do it with a bat, then he/ she gets an opportunity to do it with a ball."

“So, I feel Deepti Sharma maybe can be an x-factor today with the ball, with the bat. And the rest, I would like everyone to contribute from start to end. But I am sure, according to me, Deepti Sharma may be the player of the match today."
