Women’s T20 WC: Coach Amol Muzumdar Confirms Harmanpreet Kaur To Bat At Number Three
T20 World Cup: Ahead of India opening its 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup campaign against New Zealand at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday evening, head coach Amol Muzumdar has all but confirmed captain Harmanpreet Kaur to bat at number three in the tournament.
After Jemimah Rodrigues, their usual number three batter, went to number five, India tried filling the gap at that slot via Yastika Bhatia, Dayalan Hemalatha, Sajeevan Sajana and Uma Chetry. But it's now certain that Harmanpreet, who batted at number three in India’s warm-up matches wins over the West Indies and South Africa, will bat at that position.
“Absolutely, not just the warm-up games, but we had already decided back in India and in the camps that happened before we set off from Mumbai. We had a lovely camp in Bangalore, and we decided there. Basically, these pre-World Cup matches absolutely stamped that for us. Go through the scorecard, you'll find out,” said Muzumdar in the pre-match press conference.
