Smriti was all praise for her captain.
“Harman when she’s at her best, it’s a sight to watch. Really important innings under pressure, especially when we needed that sort of knock to get us to 180-plus.”
Smriti took Harmanpreet’s knock to make a bigger point, reflecting on the good form of India’s batters heading into the tournament.
“Really happy but I just feel that everyone is in a good nick, and it’s a good sign going into the T20 World Cup that Jemi (Rodrigues), Harman everyone are really looking beautiful to watch from the outside. Hopefully, I can watch them from the inside as well.”
Looking forward to the tournament, Smriti was asked about India’s opening encounter against arch-rivals Pakistan on 14 June in Birmingham.
Smriti looked forward at the game and the event in general as being a massive success for the women’s game.
“We did play Pakistan in Birmingham, and it was a sell-out. Not just India-Pakistan, we really need to hype up the T20 World Cup. In fact, it’s already hyped up. I’m sure a lot of people will come and watch us play. Hopefully we can put up a good show for them.”
