India’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign had a rocky start with a loss to New Zealand by a margin of 58 runs. In their second match, India will face their historic-rival Pakistan. However, former Indian captain Anjum Chopra feels Harmanpreet’s team will be under high pressure as it is a place where they are at do-or-die.
“Harmanpreet alone is not under pressure. Harman, as a player and captain, has been in such scenarios and situations before. I don’t think she will be under pressure, but the players in the team who have not performed to their abilities or underperformed in the last game must be feeling the pressure and must be thinking about how they can turn things around,” Anjum said.
“Everyone will be thinking in their respective corners about how they can perform better and put India’s campaign back on track. Everyone in the team needs to pitch in aggressively, sharpen their skills, and be ready for the next game against Pakistan,” the former skipper added.
Though Anjum criticised the team for their loss, she also wants the team to move on as the group are tough and players need to make a comeback.
