India all-rounder Deepti Sharma admitted that morale remains high within the camp as they look to bounce back from consecutive losses at the ICC Women's World Cup, where they are set to face England in Indore on Sunday, October 19.
The tournament hosts made a superb start to their campaign with back-to-back victories over Sri Lanka and Pakistan, but defeats against South Africa and Australia have brought them back into a tight race for the semi-final spots. The upcoming clash against England looms as a crucial fixture for India as they aim to strengthen their chances of reaching the knockout stages. Deepti emphasized that the team remains focused on the task ahead and maintains a positive mindset going into the match.
The clash against England will be India's first outing in seven days, and Deepti noted that the break from competitive action has allowed the players to refocus on the remaining matches. She added that the team used the time effectively to conduct targeted training sessions tailored to their upcoming opponents.
