Womens WC Captains Day| This goes to be the tightest World Cup that weve been part of: Australia captain Alyssa Healy

The ICC Women’s ODI World Cup is synonymous with Australia. The nation has gained a report seven titles, together with three of the previous 5 editions. Yet, captain Alyssa Healy is taking nothing with no consideration.

“You have labelled us favourites, so thanks for that. But I don’t essentially suppose that’s the case,” Healy mentioned on Friday on the Captains’ Day occasion right here.

“India of their house situations are going to be actually, actually robust to beat, together with a few captains sitting alongside [England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt and New Zealand’s Sophie Devine]. I’ve a agency perception that that is going to be the tightest World Cup that we’ve been part of.”

Kiwi Devine mentioned that the standard of the pitches and the outfields will make for partaking cricket.

“When you performed right here 5, 10 years in the past, you knew it was going to be turning wickets. Whereas, as you’ve simply seen within the Australia-India sequence, they scored almost 800 runs [781 in New Delhi], which reveals that the standard of the pitches right here have been excellent. And the outfield is at all times lightning fast.”

“At the beginning of the match, it is likely to be flat tracks and large runs on board, however spin will definitely come into play at some stage. That’s one thing everybody’s conscious of”.
