Harmanpreet Kaur
Indian women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur said after the 3-run defeat in the second ODI against Australia that the batsmen did not play in the middle overs in the manner that was required in this match. In the second ODI match played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the Australian team, batting first, scored 258 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs. After this, while chasing 259 runs, the Indian women’s team could only reach the score of 255 at the loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs. In this match, Indian wicketkeeper batsman Richa Ghosh definitely impressed everyone with her inning of 96 runs. Australia women’s team has now achieved an unassailable lead in this series by winning the second ODI match.
Batsmen need to show more awareness
Harmanpreet Kaur said in her statement after the defeat in the second ODI that we performed very well in bowling in this match. We knew that we would have to keep looking for wickets and we were successful in doing that. There were many positive things for us in this match. However, I am proud of our team the way we played. Our batsmen need to show a little more awareness while chasing the target. Richa played a very good innings in this match and she also got good support from Jemima.
Coach said bad fielding was the main reason for the defeat
Indian women’s team head coach Amol Majumdar said after the defeat in this match that there is no doubt that our fielding was very poor in today’s match. We dropped about 6 catches in this match. Although this is also a part of the game, in which Australia also dropped some catches, but we need to continuously improve in fielding. If we get some time after this series, we will focus more on improving fielding and fitness.
