- Time for youngsters to prove themselves: IND-W vs ENG-W 3rd T20:
It is a big opportunity for the likes of Shafali Verma, Sneh Rana, Harleen Deol, Smriti Mandhana, among others to prove themselves in the shortest format. The players have already proved their mettle in the one-off Test and contributed in the ODIs. But this around, it’s about dominating England women to prove India women are not less than the likes of England and Australia women.
It is worth noting that MS Dhoni-led young team India scripted history in inaugural T20 World Cup. Even though it is not a World Cup, Harmanpreet Kaur and Co should give a strong message to T20 champions Aussies ahead of the upcoming India women tour of Australia.
- ICC Rankings
India women can topple England in the ICC Rankings if they register a win over the hosts. Notably, India have 268 ICC ratings as compared to England’s 267 ratings in the latest ICC Rankings. India has played 37 matches and managed 9913 points while England has only 9891 points in 35 T20s. India women can later go past Australia women who have 289 ratings in 31 matches.
- India’s win can take to big heights
It is worth noting that Indian cricket team reached to a new height when Ajit Wadekar-led India defeated England in a test series in 1971. It followed several big victories by India which has now one of the biggest teams in current era. Similarly, Harmanpreet Kaur & Co can lead India to a great height beginning with the T20I series triumph.
- Lift India’s morale ahead of Australia series and 2022 World Cup
India women are coming on the back of three successive white-ball series defeats and they can reverse the trend with final T20. India has lost six out of their last eight ODIs.
IND-W vs ENG-W 3rd T20: As discussed above, India women’s victory can send a strong message to Aussies as they will tour Australia later this year. A victory can inspire to be the favourites to defeat Australia women twice in their backyard and repeat what Ajinkya Rahane’s India did to Australia in Test series. Also, India women will play 2022 World Cup in less than a year’s time in New Zealand. The conditions will be similar to UK. A win will lift.
