New Delhi. The Indian women’s cricket team may have had to face defeat in the final of the T20 tri-series against the hosts in South Africa, but experienced all-rounder Deepti Sharma says that we did better in bowling and batting. Deepti says that taking positive things from this series, Team India will enter the upcoming T20 World Cup. The Women’s T20 World Cup will be held in South Africa from 10 February. Team India will face Pakistan (India w vs Pakistan w) in their first match.
In the ICC T20 World Cup 2020, the Indian team reached the finals. He was defeated by South Africa by 5 wickets in the final of the tri-series. Deepti Sharma, who was the player of the series, said in the press conference after the match, ‘A lot of positive things have come out of the series. We did well in bowling and batting. We have to maintain it in the World Cup as well. Whether we play England or any team, our focus should be on our strength. South Africa got the advantage of playing at home but we have to take the positives of the series into the World Cup. We have to think not about the opposing team but about ourselves.
Sharma, who was the player of the series with 9 wickets in five matches, said that he got a lot of help from the pitches in South Africa.
Deepti said, ‘We played on South African wickets where spinners get a turn. I got a lot of help from the wicket. Harry Di (Harmanpreet Kaur) also told me to keep bowling according to the conditions. I think we bowled well. India has to play Pakistan in the first match of the World Cup on 12 February.
