The Indian Women's cricket team will have the home advantage on their side and will look to trump the defending champions, Australia, to clinch their maiden ICC title. The home side will be led by a resilient Harmanpreet Kaur, who has been a thorn in Australia's side for quite a while now. India would want to start their campaign on a winning note against Sri Lanka and will look to brace themselves against tougher opponents like South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia, against whom they have been found wanting more often than not in the past ICC events.
