Amol Mazumdar urges India women to play aggressively in T20 Asia Cup
Amol Mazumdar urges India women to play aggressively in the T20 Asia Cup and not pay too much attention to form, with spinners expected to play a crucial role.
India women's head coach Amol Mazumdar told his players to stop worrying about form and keep swinging in the T20 Asia Cup. The message landed after India opened with a 94-run win over Thailand, yet Shafali Verma flagged the middle-order collapse that followed the top-order start.
Mazumdar pointed to the turning pitches in Dubai and said the spinners would decide matches. He wants the batters to stay positive rather than replay recent failures in their heads.

If the batters take Mazumdar at his word, the real test will come when one of those turning pitches meets a middle-order wobble; either the aggression holds or the spinners are left bowling with a shaky total to defend.
