Indian women\u2019s team head coach Amol Muzumdar has said that the team is well aware that one of the top order batters needs to score a hundred to remain afloat in the upcoming games, adding that the strike rate of the girls isn\u2019t a big concern for the team.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, <\/span>Muzumdar<\/span> backed India\u2019s struggling batters in the Women\u2019s World Cup, saying that a big knock from them is just around the corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

India need a win against New Zealand to reach the final four stage, but for that, the hosts will require their batters to come to the party in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Indian batters continue to chase a World Cup hundred this edition, the strike-rates of opener <\/span>Pratika<\/span> Rawal and <\/span>Harleen<\/span> Deol underscore the top-order\u2019s struggle to accelerate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are well aware that a three-figure mark has not come in this World Cup. But if you look at the past year-and-a-half, the 18 months that have passed before the World Cup, we have definitely had a lot of hundreds that we have seen than ever before, I guess,” Muzumdar said while speaking at the pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, the three-figure mark hasn\u2019t been reached,” the coach added. But he dismissed the notion of Indian batters being under pressure due to a lack of individual big scores.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there is a lot of load on anyone. We have had honest discussions about it and the players have also been honest that instead of a fifty, we could have converted that into a hundred,” Muzumdar said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are aware of it and I am hopeful that it will come in the next couple of games,” Muzumdar added.<\/p>\n

The coach was not concerned about Rawal and <\/span>Harleen\u2019s<\/span> sub-80 strike rates, noting that the duo has managed just one fifty between them in 10 innings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at Pratika Rawal\u2019s progression from last December when she made her debut in international cricket, she averages around 50 (47.04) and her strike rate is around 82-83,” Muzumdar said.<\/p>\n
