Indian women's team for CWG has been announced, harmanpreet to lead
The skipper of all formats for team India women, Harmanpreet Kaur led from the front, scored a solid 75 off 88 balls, and claimed one wicket in her spell of 5 overs.
The three-match ODI series that is currently being played is a vital part of the ICC ODI Championship.
India stuttered in what should have been a comfortable run chase before Harmanpreet took India home with an unbeaten 31 of 32 balls.
India's tour of Sri Lanka consists of 3 T20s followed by as many ODI's.
Kaur scored a 66-ball 63 in the fifth and final ODI against New Zealand recently to roar back into form, the knock helping India to avoid a whitewash at the hands of the home team.
Smriti Mandhana and Mithali Raj also hit fine half-centuries as India registered the first win in the bilateral series after conceding five matches (including a T20) on the trot. New Zealand win series 4-1.
Edulji also wants to drop Shafali Verma for the next game with Smriti Mandhana expected to return after completing quarantine.
There are as many as eight Indian players featuring in the Women's Big Bash this season and the leading stars also feature in the Hundred in the UK.
India women's T20I captain Harmanpreet Kaur said that the team management has a happy selection headache, with every member of the squad ready to play whenever required.
The 32-year-old allrounder suffered the injury before the warm-up game against Australia on Saturday.
In an exclusive chat with former India captain Anjum Chopra, we talk about one-off Test and the concerns India faced in the ODI series as they gear up for the World Cup next year.
Indian women's cricket team coach Ramesh Powar said an 'ideological change' is needed for the side to transform into a 'fearless unit' in white-ball games.
India women's team England tour ended in a disappointment as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side succumb to an eight-wicket loss to the host in the third and final T20I; subsequently conceding the series 2-1.
Defending a 149-run target, India restricted England to 140/8 to secure a win in the second T20I.
In the 30 ODIs and 24 innings Harmanpreet has played since that 2017 World Cup century, she has managed only two half-centuries and those too came long back in early 2018.
Harmanpreet and Harleen Deol pulled off splendid catches in the rain-hit first T20I which England won by 18 runs here on Friday night.
The senior batter is confident of finding her mojo back in the three-match T20 series against England.
India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur would be aiming to overcome her prolonged form slump and provide a much-needed boost to the team's batting.
It will be interesting to see if coach Ramesh Powar has a solution for Harmanpreet's lean patch.
