I don't think they are having issues: Jhulan Goswami

England women's team was phenomenal in the last match and easily bundled India in scoring 134 runs in 36.2 overs. Jhulan Goswami said post the match, "I think in this World Cup, every match is very much important and we can't predict what will happen in a match. Definitely, we have to bounce back. We have to recollect everything, we have two days, we'll definitely sort out whatever things are there and definitely try and go there and play positively."

Speaking of the batting lineup, she added, "I don't think it's a concern. Who is batting at number three? It is Mithali Raj, she is just one big knock away. In the past series, she has been batting fantastically against New Zealand and is just one big knock away in this tournament. I don't think they are having issues I think Deepti also did a pretty decent job and at number five Harman (Harmanpreet Kaur) is playing."

She further added, "Honestly speaking, at this moment, yes, our top order, the way we are thinking, they haven't fired. But I am sure we will have to be positive about that because they have done really well in the past."

India will next face Australia, the undefeated team so far in the 2022 World Cup.
