India T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur thinks performances of the teams have gone better in the last two years and the upcoming T20 World Cup has the potential to revolutionise the game as well. India have faced three consecutive losses in the ongoing tri-series before registering a win over Australia. However, the mega event begins in Australia on February 21.

“It wasn’t so long ago that a par score in T20 cricket was 120 or 130. Now, that’s not enough. Teams are looking much more confident and trying to get bigger scores on the board,” said Harmanpreet Kaur. “It’s that change in the mindset that means performances are getting better across the board and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 has the potential to revolutionise the game even further.”

“If I look back two years, India’s 50-over side was doing well and our T20 was struggling. But in the past two years, we have transformed as a T20 team and are very positive going to Australia. When you look at the other teams competing in the World Cup, they’re all looking in good shape ahead of the tournament. All of the teams have strengths but so do we. Our strength is spin,” said the T20 captain.

She again said that tri-series will help to find out the best combination for the T20 World Cup.

“Our bowlers are always looking for the wicket-taking delivery and when we have our backs to the wall,” she said. “We haven’t always managed to deliver on our potential as a team and winning games is always about how well you’re able to execute your skills. In recent series wins over South Africa and the West Indies, we played to our full potential and that helped us get positive results. If we give 100 percent as a collective, results take care of themselves,” said Harmanpreet Kaur.
