In the lead-up to a crucial match against New Zealand in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025, the Indian team is focusing on improving its performance. Coach Muzumdar emphasized the need for honest discussions within the team, especially regarding their inability to finish close games effectively.
Importance of Finishing Strong
Muzumdar noted that starting strong is essential, but it is finishing well that ultimately determines the outcome of matches. The team is hopeful that lessons learned from previous games will be applied against the White Ferns.
Key Players to Watch
Richa Ghosh has become a key player as a specialized finisher for the Indian side. However, Muzumdar highlighted the necessity for other players to support her. He stressed the importance of the batting group stepping up to allow Ghosh the freedom to express her game.
