The women in blue have never won a world title despite coming close on a few occasions, including the 2017 ODI World Cup in England, where they finished runners-up to capture the country\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">But in 2025, Harmanpreet &amp; Co. have a great opportunity to script history. The Women\u2019s ODI World Cup is set to begin in India and Sri Lanka, from next month, and the Indian skipper said her team is determined to end the drought.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cWe want to break that barrier which all Indians are waiting for. World Cups are always special. I always want to do something special for my country. Whenever I see Yuvi bhaiya (Yuvraj Singh), it gives me a lot of motivation,&#8221; Harmanpreet said at the trophy unveiling ceremony in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">India go into the Australia series at home, starting September 14, high on confidence, having got the better of England in their own backyard in both ODI and T20 format. The World Cup starts September 30.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">\u201cPlaying against Australia is always challenging, and we get to know what our standing is. The series (three ODIs vs Australia) will give us a lot of confidence. We have been putting a lot of effort into our training camps and the results are showing,&#8221; said Harmanpreet.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Her match-winning 171 in the semifinal against Australia back in 2017 remains fresh in Harmanpreet\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cThat knock was something really special to me and the entire women\u2019s cricket. A lot of things changed for me after that knock. When we came back to India, even though we had lost, a lot of people were waiting and cheering for us. I still get goosebumps,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">The preceding series against title favourites Australia will give the side a clear picture of where it stands heading into the mega event at home.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><em>(With PTI Inputs)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aakash-biswas-bio-2023-11-729600f2111212fe5bc6bc8acec4a032.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/aakash-biswas-20213.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Aakash Biswas<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A cricket enthusiast whose dreams of playing for India paved the way for a compelling journey in journalism.
