Harmanpreet predicts India, Aus, England, SA as Women’s T20 WC semi-finalists

The T20 World Cup is scheduled in Bangladesh from October 3-20 with Harmanpreet banking on the Indian team’s familiarity with the conditions to win the competition

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is confident that the Indian women’s team will be one of the potential semi-finalists in this year’s T20 World Cup and beating the ‘Southern Stars’ will go a long way in clinching its first maiden global title.

The T20 World Cup is scheduled in Bangladesh from October 3-20 with Harmanpreet banking on the Indian team’s familiarity with the conditions to win the competition.

India have been drawn alongside six-time champions Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Group ‘A’ for the ninth edition of the tournament, while Group ‘B’ comprises South Africa, England, 2016 champions West Indies, Bangladesh and Scotland.

Asked to predict the semi-finalists, Harmanpreet, who recently led India to a 5-0 whitewash of Bangladesh in the T20I series in Sylhet, said: “India, Australia, England and South Africa. Because all these teams have been doing really well and hopefully these four can qualify for the semis so we can have very good cricket over there. 

“I think it will be Australia [who I look forward to facing] because they are very competitive,” Harmanpreet told ICC during a fixture launch event here.
