India captain Harmanpreet has been in good form, but a few decisions made by her is coming to haunt her. The bizarre decision was taken by the captain in the final over with the team needing an achievable 14 runs to win. Ideally, Harmanpreet should have taken the bulk of the strike, but instead, she picked up a single of the first ball. And then, Pooja Vastrakar was immediately bowled by Annabel Sutherland. With India needing 13 off three later, Kaur again took a single instead of backing herself to force a super over. Given her form, she could have taken India over the line and hence she is now facing all the flak from the fans who were hoping for a better show. India eventually lost the game by nine runs.

‘It was a chaseable target’
“It was a chaseable total. When me and Deepti were batting, we couldn’t hit a few loose balls. We can learn a lot from Australia. Whatever was in our hands, we were trying to do that but that’s something not in our control,” Harmanpreet said after the match.
Meanwhile, Indians would now be watching the Pakistan versus New Zealand clash and hoping the former can edge the White Ferns. If that happens, India go through to the semis, but considering the side the White Ferns have, it will be extremely difficult for Pakistan .
