New Delhi Feb 13 Ahead of the muchawaited Women's T20 World Cup, India coach WV Raman has said that the side is definitely one of the favourites and the side can create history just like Kapil Dev's 1983 team. The Women's T20 World Cup will be played from February 21-March 8 and India will take on Australia in the first match of the competition. "Definitely one of the favourites. They made people sit up and take notice in the 2017 World Cup and the 2018 T20 World Cup. Since then there has been a lot of improvement, in terms of fitness, agility on the field and their approach to batting," ESPN Cricinfo quoted Raman as saying. "They have been shaping well over the last six months. It is more or less a better and settled team than perhaps what it was when I took over. These girls have a very good chance in this World Cup," he added. Coach Raman also expressed his desire to see India playing a fearless brand of cricket to create history and take women's sport a notch higher in the country. "The way all of them want to do well and take up responsibility will be evident regardless of how things pan out. They are definitely in with a good chance and they have an opportunity to create history," Raman said.
