The start of a new year brings hope for better performances in any walk of life. The Indian women’s cricket team find themselves in a similar situation. Though they dominated the red-ball format in the recent one-off Tests against England and Australia, they are found wanting in the white-ball format.
India lost the T20Is to England 1-2 and are down 0-2 to Australia with the final one to be played today at the Wankhede Stadium. Though the second ODI was closely contested with Australia pipping India by three runs, it turned out to be one where the team dropping fewer catches won. Out of the 11 that were grassed in the match, Australia’s count was four.
