India captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Friday said the Women in Blue achieved their objective of raising their standards and adopting a more aggressive approach during the series win over Sri Lanka, keeping an eye on next year's T20 World Cup.

India defeated Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the third WT20I to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

Having already clinched their maiden ODI World Cup last month, India have now shifted focus to the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in England and Wales from June 12 to July 5 next year.

"It was a great series for all of us. That's what we discussed after the World Cup that we have to raise our standard and be more aggressive in T20s because the World Cup is coming up so very happy with our overall performances." Harmanpreet said at the post-match presentation.

The skipper singled out the bowling unit for praise, crediting them for consistently restricting Sri Lanka to modest totals throughout the series.

"I think the contribution from our bowlers (has been a highlight) because in T20 cricket, the bowling is very important. Today we are in this position because of our bowlers so credit goes to them."
