Indian Women’s Team: Focused on One Game at a Time

Given that not much has changed since the team’s previous visit to the region, senior player Deepti Sharma stated that India’s approach to the Women’s T20 Asia Cup has been to take each match as it comes.

Following Shafali Verma’s explosive 81 off 48 balls with the bat and Deepti’s outstanding 3/13 with the ball, India thrashed Nepal 82 runs to advance to the semifinals on Tuesday.

In their 20 overs, India limited Nepal to a pitiful 98 for 9, having amassed 178 for 3 after batting first.

“From the first game we are pretty confident about each match and every situation and the condition as well. We are looking forward to semi-final as well,” Deepti told the media after the match.

She claimed that since the team’s June 2022 visit to the island nation, not much had changed in terms of the pitches’ characteristics or the surrounding environment.

“Nothing has changed, just keep it very simple and just focus for another match. I played here last time also and yeah, nothing changed,” she said.

“We are only backing ourselves and you know, conditions are really the same.”

With eight wickets in three matches, the right-arm off-spinner is leading the bowling stats. She attributed her success to her ability to bowl in every circumstance.

“I am always ready to bowl in any kind of situation. I like to take the challenges from the front. It’s nothing, just that I’m enjoying each and every match, plan accordingly and what we discussed in the meeting, I just apply myself,” she said.

“If we win the toss, it’s a positive approach from the upfront. As a batting unit also, we are doing really well from the game one and we finished also well,” she added.
