Former India captain Jhulan Goswami has backed the Indian team, saying that the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has the potential to win their maiden Women’s T20 World Cup title. India qualified for the final on the back of staying in the number one position in the points table as their semi-final clash against England got washed out at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday.

“It is great news. They have dominated the World Cup. They topped the group and made it to the semis. The semi-final was washed out but this is part of the game,” Jhulan told IANS.

India reached their first-ever T20 World Cup final by defeating defending champions Australia in the opening game, later they won against Bangladesh, New Zealand and Sri Lanka to finish the group at the top.

“Pressure will be there. World Cup final is the biggest stage. Handling the pressure is the key. They have played fearless cricket so far and I am hopeful they will continue playing good cricket and will win the World Cup,” said Jhulan Goswami who was part of India’s nail-biting 2017 50-over World Cup final loss to England at Lord’s.

The 35-year-old also added that reaching the final is a great thing and the fearless brand of cricket the team has been playing can help them win the trophy as well. The final at Melbourne on Sunday will be a great show for women’s cricket in India.

“Reaching the final and in this fashion is a big achievement. They should continue playing the fearless cricket they have been playing,” said Jhulan Goswami who is the only player in the world to take more than 200 wickets in women’s one-day internationals.

“The final will be in Melbourne and it will be a spectacle. I am hoping it will be a full house. This will be a great advertisement for women’s cricket all over the world. Indian cricket will grow also,” Jhulan Goswami signed off.
