The Indian women’s team will have to maintain the spirit of victory in this T20 tournament. And, the team combination experiments with new players will come in handy in the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, 2023.

It is worth noting that, on the eve of Women’s Asia Cup-2022 Final Match IND vs SRL, Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur (Captain Team India) said in one of her statements that “This (Asia Cup) is such a platform. Where you can test your limits. What kind of cricket do you want to play? That’s what we did in this tournament (Women’s Team India Asia Cup-2022). Always tested himself, put himself under pressure. We also did many experiments in the team. It was necessary in view of the upcoming World Cup. I think when precedents are set, a lot is expected of you. But, what is important for us is to play good cricket, as we have done so far in this tournament (Women’s Asia Cup-2022).”
