Mithali Backs India To Win Maiden Women’s ODI World Cup Title If They Seize Key Moments
ODI World Cup: Former India captain Mithali Raj believes a maiden ICC Women’s ODI World Cup title is within the current team's reach if they are able to seize key moments during the tournament starting on September 30. India head into the eight-team showpiece event as one of the favourites to win the title, though seven-time champions Australia and four-time winners England remain as formidable challengers.
“I think (India) needs to seize those small moments during the big games. That's where the balance (is) of the teams that are in contention. They try to use more of those moments and try to shift the momentum to their side, and India need to seize those moments,” Mithali was quoted as saying by ICC Digital on Thursday.
Mithali led India to runners-up finishes in 2005 and 2017 and believes winning the title at home would be a huge boost for women’s cricket in the country. “I mean, that is something that all the players, whoever picks up the bat, whoever wants to represent the country, would want to win the World Cup because so far India hasn't.”
