Ahead of their highly anticipated clash against Pakistan in the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup 2024, India's bowling coach Aavishkar Salvi urged his team to "stay united and believe in their abilities." The blockbuster match between India and Pakistan will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Harmanpreet Kaur's side enters this match after suffering a disappointing 58-run loss against New Zealand in their tournament opener. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Salvi emphasized that the match against Pakistan is a fresh opportunity for the Women in Blue. He added that the team management only asks the team to stay strong.
"The next game is a fresh opportunity for us. The girls have gone through the grind and have been through this [similar results] before. We only tell them to stay strong, stay united, and believe in our abilities and plans," Salvi said.
The bowling coach also praised India's fielding efforts against New Zealand and noted that there has been significant improvement. "We have been working on it. If you see the results, the errors are lesser than what it was earlier. So there has been a lot of improvement in that aspect. If you see the way we fielded yesterday, barring a few moments and a couple of deliveries, the rest of the time the speed of the girls was superb, the angle cutting was nice, and the way they were moving across the field, that was great," he added.
Team India has been placed in Group A of the prestigious tournament along with New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
