Healy Cautious of 'Stable' India Ahead of CWC25, 1st ODI Streaming Details
Ahead of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, Australia is set to face a formidable Indian team in a three-match ODI series. Alyssa Healy acknowledges India's strength, particularly their newfound stability, but remains confident in her team's ability to compete. The first ODI is scheduled for Sunday at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur (New Chandigarh).
Healy's Perspective on India's Rise
Alyssa Healy, the touring captain, recognizes that India holds an advantage due to their familiarity with the home conditions. She stated, “India are probably red-hot favourites in their conditions, going into a World Cup but I think the squad of 15 players that we’ve got to contribute in this series is really well-placed.” Healy also believes that India's improved stability makes them a dangerous opponent. “In the women’s game, India has been a sleeping giant for a long period of time. (They) haven’t had the stability (in the past) that they do right now. They are a really dangerous side, and I think they’re fully aware of that, and what they can do to other sides.”
