Indian women's team head coach WV Raman is confident of his side's chances of winning the T20 World Cup in Australia, beginning February 21. 

Veteran Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the 15-member Indian touring party, featuring some of the country's brightest young talents, who'll begin their preparations for the big event down under with a T20I tri-series, including the mighty hosts and England, from January 31.

At the World Cup, India will take on Australia on the opening day of the tournament before also facing Bangladesh (February 24), New Zealand (February 27) and Sri Lanka (February 29) in Group A. 

"I'm very positive about our girls' chances. I do not like to get into names. But, of course, I fancy their chances a lot," PTI quoted Raman as saying. "The one thing they probably need is to strike an emotional balance. There would be sudden change in tempo in scorecards, it would induce emotions from both ends. if they can find a middle path it would enhance our chances."

Raman feels really excited over Shafali Verma, the 15-year-old Haryana born teenage batting prodigy, who has begun her international career on a great note. "She has captured everybody's imagination," he said. "It's for her to find out. Sehwag also found out and he certainly changed the entire dynamics of batting. People started looking at 360 in a day."

"She will learn, just like (Virender) Sehwag and found out how to go about doing what they do. The good thing is that she has shown that she can perform at that level and she is a quick learner," Raman added. 

"It's a young side, certainly gelling well. Give these girls three years time. They are going to dominate, I have no doubts."

Raman, who played 11 Tests and 27 ODIs for India, took over from former off-spinner Ramesh Powar after his controversial fall out with legend Mithali Raj at the previous T20 World Cup in the Caribbean. 

"It's a case of talking to you, rather than talking about you. Lot of things are spoken about by people from the outside," he said. 

"There is a lot of confusion and lot of noise. It's better to address it directly and talk to you. It's a question of need to know basics and need to talk basics. If there is nothing to talk, do not talk about it."

"I went in when there was noise. All these things happened when I was not there so everything was hearsay. I said let's start with a clean slate and talk about today and tomorrow," Raman added.
