Notably, the Hayley Matthews-led side suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of England in their previous match and another defeat can push them out of the competition. Thus, they will be gearing up to do well and return back to winning ways but things will be very difficult for the Caribbean team.

They were very poor with the ball in their last game and if they fail to improve, the Indian batting unit can wreak havoc in the middle. From their batting point of view, the skipper along with Shemaine Campbelle took a share of the responsibility but there’s a lot to work on at the moment.

Now, even though India managed to defeat their arch-rivals in the opening game, there are issues they need to address as well. Bowlers managed to clinch only four wickets in the previous match and that will have to improve if they aim to challenge for the title.

They will miss the experience of Jhulan Goswami in the middle but it’s time for the young blood to step up and remain consistent throughout the tournament. However, with the bat, Jemimah Rodrigues (53* of 38 deliveries) and Richa Ghosh (31* off 20 deliveries) were at their meticulous best and that will be a massive boost for the squad in the coming game.
