We Will Give Tough Fight to the Aussies Says Harmanpreet Kaur

Team India Women’s skipper in the shortest format of the game Harmanpreet Kaur said that they would give a tough fight to England and Australia in the upcoming T20I tri-series. She said that India might be lacking the experience, but they won’t be short of intensity. England and Australia have players who compete in the Big Bash League. Harmanpreet said that both sides were good and they need to play some really good cricket to compete against them.

“No doubt they (England and Australia players) have a lot of experience because they have played T20 format. We know we are not as powerful in our strength as compared to the foreign players. We are working on it daily,” Harmanpreet said.

“Right now, for us as a team, it is a learning process and preparing for the World Cup and day by day we are taking the challenges. We know both the teams (Australia and England) are good in T20 and we will like to give them a fight,” she added. The Indian colts were whitewashed in the 3 match bilateral T20I series against Australia and Harman said it was the fielding which let them down.

“In the T20 format, there are a lot of areas where we need to improve and a big thing where we are lacking is our fielding, because if you see the ODI series, (because of) fielding we have given a lot of runs,” Harmanpreet was quoted as saying by the reporters.

“In the T20 format, it is a short format, we will give our 100 percent and girls are looking confident and we will do better.,” she added.

Before the bilateral series against Australia, India won the 5-match T20I series by a 3-1 margin.

“When we played T20 in South Africa, everybody enjoyed it because we were playing the format after 14-16 months. And this is the second series and everyone is positive. I know that we did not do well in ODIs, but despite that everyone’s approach is good and we will do better in this tournament,” she said.
