Women's T20 World Cup 2026: 5 reasons India can win the title

4) Batting firepower and depth

One of the most stellar and exhilarating aspects of the Indian Women's team is their strong batting unit. From top to bottom, they have run-scorers, stroke makers, power hitters and genuine depth in their options. In Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, they have a dynamic opening pair capable of scoring fast and big. Yastika Bhatia's return adds much-needed impetus to the middle-order, alongside the reliable Jemimah Rodrigues.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has been India's woman for the big occasions, with stellar performances in multiple crunch ICC games. Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh is one of the most dominant finishers in the game, and showed her prowess with a 38-ball 68 in the warm-up game against England, almost taking them home with 40 needed off the last 15 balls. Bharti Fulmali adds another reliable lower-order option, and in Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav, India has genuine all-rounders who can contribute with the bat.
