London: The Indian women’s cricket team entered the T20 World Cup as favourites. But after losing against Australia, Harmanpreet Kaur’s team left the group stage. Harmanpreet could not save the team’s loss even though he played a half-century innings. Batting first, India scored 170 runs on the board. In reply, Australia picked up the runs needed to win after losing 4 wickets to chase the runs. Earlier, Team India also lost against South Africa in the group. And after the loss against Australia, India’s women’s run in the World Cup ended. But what is the reason for this rate? After the match Harmanpreet pointed the finger at the press conference?

Harmanpreet’s innings of 56 runs from 27 balls came from the bat in the do or die match. Indian women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet said at the end of the game, ‘I thought at first that this run was enough for the fight. But while I was batting I felt that maybe 10-15 runs were short. We batted well towards the end. But the players from whom we expected big innings, did not happen. The Australian bowlers were very smart and kept us at bay. We didn’t lose too many wickets. But we could not make big runs.’

Last year, the Indian women’s cricket team won the ODI World Cup under the leadership of Harmanpreet. This time there was also a chance to win the T20 World Cup. But it didn’t happen anymore. According to the captain, ‘When you play against the best team in the world, you have to play with your best. But we couldn’t. We have to discuss them. We also had to pay the price for missing catches at the start of the tournament. In this match too, we were in the match for a while. But we could not keep that rhythm until the last moment.’

Sunday was an all-black day for Indian cricket. They lost the T20I series against Ireland by 0-2 Shreyas Iyerled by Indian teamwho The Irish team won the first match by 34 runs.
