India Set Sights on First Women’s World Cup Title on Home Soil

Players credit the Women’s Premier League with sharpening skills for the tournament.

Overview

  • All-rounder Sneh Rana said the team’s goal is to “fill the trophy cabinet with a World Cup” and called a home campaign both special and challenging.
  • Deepti Sharma described confidence within the squad and noted that it will be head coach Amol Muzumdar’s first World Cup, which she called important and special.
  • Wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh said WPL exposure improved her keeping and game awareness by learning directly from overseas players’ plans and bowling meetings.
  • India and Sri Lanka are co-hosting the event, with India opening against Sri Lanka in Guwahati on September 30, and India have yet to win the Women’s World Cup.
  • The public resolve follows a 1–2 ODI series defeat to Australia, with players emphasizing readiness to perform in front of large home crowds.
