After the conclusion of the solitary T20I, Women in Blue will shift their focus to the one-dayers to finetune their preparations for the 2022 fifty overs World Cup, starting from March 4.
The Mithali Raj-led side finished as runner-up during the 2017 edition of the tournament after a heartbreaking loss to England in the final and will look to go all the way this time around.
Coming into this series, Harmanpreet will look to carry her form from the Women’s Big Bash League, where she was awarded Player of the Tournament for her brilliant display. She scored 406 runs in WBBL in 13 games.
Harman had a forgettable outing for India in the shorter format of the game last year as she managed just 121 runs in six games.
Other than Harman, Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma will also have to shoulder the responsibility of senior players for India to do well in the tournament.
