India 145;most dominant146; in Asia: Mithali

Winning the Asia Cup will be as far as Mithali and her team can get in being the number one team in the sub-continent. Currently, these girls are more 8216;8216;focused8217;8217; on what lies ahead for them after this tournament is over.

Says Mithali: 8216;8216;If you look at the bigger picture, there are few players who have still not been able to get over with the World Cup final loss against Australia. The failure to defeat them the Aussies or countries like England and New Zealand on a regular basis top the list of issues we8217;re working on.8217;8217;

After the Asia Cup, India head for Australia for a one-off Test and three one-dayers to be played in Adelaide. 8216;8216;That will be the real testing ground. The Australian attack is currently the most dangerous and that will help us analyse our strengths and weaknesses better,8217;8217; she says.

After the tour of Australia, India fly to New Zealand for a five-match one-day series at Lincoln. 8216;8216;The performances against Pakistan and Sri Lanka have been cakewalks. We are happy with the way we have gone about, but this is just another area to experiment within ourselves,8217;8217; says the confident skipper.
