"Harmanpreet Kaur has looked in good form too but we have to beat Australia and England you need others batters to come to the party." The Indian team, which takes on Pakistan in their tournament opener on February 12 in Cape Town, have been playing in South Africa. The Indian team, which recently finished runners up in a Tri series against hosts South Africa and West Indies, will be fielding a relatively inexperienced pace unit barring veteran Shikha Pandey. "The bowling will be tested and that is where we need to see an ...
