Harmanpreet Kaur says Australia remains a formidable side despite Alyssa Healy's retirement as India gear up for a must-win Women's T20 World Cup clash.
After being put in to bat, the focus was on how India’s top order handles the Gabba’s trademark bounce and carry despite Australia missing their lead pacer Josh Hazlewood as he continued preparations for the Ashes.
Currently leading the series 2-1, India have already ensured that their 17-year unbeaten run in T20Is against Australia remains intact. Now, Suryakumar Yadav’s men will look to finish with a flourish.
J Rodrigues was the star of the match with her unbeaten 127-run knock.
Talking about the upcoming challenges in India, the Aussie said executing plans against spinners and pacers will be the key.
The skipper mentioned that it is important for his teammates to not overplay the Bumrah factor.
In 2019, when the Aussies toured India, they had stunned the Virat Kohli-led side with a 3-2 ODI series win.
Meanwhile, Irfan said, "It all started in Australia for me. The most memorable moment was getting my first wicket and helping India win a Test match in Australia after 21 years."
The Sri Lankan team will be on a tour to India in the first week of January and will participate in a 3 match T20I series.
