Mumbai: Winning the ODI World Cup could be a turning point for the women's game in cricket-crazy India, captain Harmanpreet Kaur said on Saturday, and encourage more girls to take the field.
Hosts India face South Africa in the final in Mumbai on Sunday, with both teams hoping to win the women's one-day showpiece for the first time in its 52-year history.
India have been runners-up twice, in 2005 and 2017, and reached their third final after beating seven-time champions Australia in a thriller.
"Last time when we reached the final and came back to India, we saw a big change," Kaur told reporters.
"Women's cricket moved ahead and we saw many girls on the ground. So I am sure that if we win this final, we will see many more changes and we will see more cricket, not only on the international level but also on the domestic level."
