A World Cup win is not very far now, India's star all-rounder Deepti Sharma declared after the team's record-extending seventh Women's Asia Cup title triumph on Saturday.

Barring an aberration against Pakistan that came courtesy some bizarre planning and experiments, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side ruled the roost in the continental T20 tournament.

The final against Sri Lanka turned out to be a one-sided affair as they restricted the islanders to a below-par 65/9 en route to an eight-wicket victory. "As a team we did well right from the first match till the final.

Obviously, it gives you confidence when you win the final," Deepti, who was adjudged Player of the Tournament, said at the post-match media interaction.
