India women came tantalisingly close to winning the ICC ODI World Cup three years back, losing to hosts England by nine runs in the final.
Harmanpreet said India are looking to make the most of the experience of the last three years.
"Our team is growing day by day, everyone is looking so positive," Harmanpreet said as all the 10 skippers gathered for the captain's media launch at the Taronga Zoo on Monday.
"It's going to be very big if we win, I was very surprised at all the reaction from 2017. My parents didn't tell me, they didn't want us to feel the pressure. If we win, it's going to be very big for us. We will try to give our best."
