India's search for an elusive ICC title continues as they aim to romp home against the defending champions Australia on Sunday in a Group A ICC Women's T20 World Cup fixture at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium to earn a place in the semis.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side is second on the points table with a net run rate (NRR) of 0.576. They need to beat Australia by a huge margin to ensure a semifinal berth for themselves. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur realises the magnitude of the game and wants her players to keep a calm head on their shoulders.
"Lot of things we have to keep in mind and play," Harmanpreet was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo ahead of the clash. "Definitely going there you need a strong mindset, but at the same time we just want to play freely and enjoy our game, because end of the day when you're enjoying, you can always get the results.
"I know it's an important game, just need to keep yourself in the present and see what is required for the team and playing accordingly, I think that's more important."
