India out to make winning World Cups a habit

What's in the news: Yastika Bhatia marked her return to competitive cricket after nearly nine months on the sidelines, and slotted in directly at No. She made a solid impression twice in the Powerplay.

Having given her three outings in three games, India have kept their cards open for the combination they might play with. But it's uncertain if it's a gamble they can afford to take, especially with Richa Ghosh struggling for runs, and not enough muscle to back her in the lower middle order.
