First Match Is Always Crucial As It Sets The Tone For The Tournament, Says Deepti
ODI World Cup: Ahead of India's opening match in the Women’s ODI World Cup campaign against co-hosts Sri Lanka, senior off-spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma emphasised the importance of starting strong in the competition, saying that it becomes a tone-setter for the rest of the team’s campaign.
India have never won the Women’s ODI World Cup, with their best result being runners-up in the 2005 and 2017 editions of the competition. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will begin its pursuit of a first senior World Cup title when it takes on Sri Lanka in the opener at the ACA Stadium on Tuesday.
“The first match is always crucial as it sets the tone for the tournament. We have played against Sri Lanka recently and are familiar with their batting and bowling strengths. Keeping that in mind, we are preparing ourselves accordingly,” said Deepti on JioStar.
