Former Indian women’s team head coach WV Raman and ex-India wicketkeeper-batsman Syed Saba Karim are confident that India will beat Australia in the three-match women’s T20I series, beginning on Thursday at the Gold Coast. 

Karim, who was general manager, cricket operations at BCCI and used to look after women’s cricket, pointed out that fit-again skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s form will play a crucial role. Harmanpreet was ruled out of the recent ODI series and the day-night Test against Australia due to a thumb injury.
