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.
Virat Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma, the Heart and Soul of Men in Blue also have a chance to cement their status as two of the best to play the 20-over format.
Starc (knee), Marsh (ankle), and Stoinis (side strain) have all been ruled out of the brief tour of India in addition to opener David Warner, who had previously taken a break from the trip due to fatigue.
Rohan Gavaskar feels that Kohli opening the batting can become a huge option for the side ahead of the Men's T20 World Cup in Australia next month.
Schopman was scathing in her comments and said, "People who don't understand sport who make those decisions".
Virat Kohli and his troops are currently scheduled to play four Tests Down Under in the much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting November.
