England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt says the team sees pressure as a privilege as they chase a home T20 World Cup title.
The hosts are among the favorites and are aiming to end a 17-year wait for the trophy. They open against Sri Lanka on Friday, June 12.
England lost to Australia by five wickets in their first warm-up, with the top order struggling against Sophie Molineux's attack. But they bounced back with a thrilling five-run win over India, thanks to centuries from Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones.
With preparations complete, all eyes are on whether Charlotte Edwards' side can follow in the footsteps of the Lionesses and the Red Roses by winning a major tournament on home soil.
"There's extra pressure from everywhere," Sciver-Brunt said. "We are the host nation, and this is my first home World Cup leading the team."
