After losing the series against Australia, the Indian captain pointed out his shortcomings and gave this great advice.
Harmanpreet Kaur
Indian Captain Harmanpreet Kaur: Australian women’s team has defeated Indian women’s team by 122 runs in the second ODI match. The bowlers and batsmen performed very poorly for the Indian team. Australia gave India a huge target of 372 runs to win, in response to which the Indian team was all out for only 249 runs and could not even play the full 50 overs.
Will have to focus on batting 50 overs: Harmanpreet Kaur
After losing the second ODI, captain Harmanpreet Kaur said that even though the target was very big. We made some partnerships and our thinking was positive. Looking for boundaries in every over. But we fell behind by a few runs. We created opportunities with bowling, but unfortunately we could not take advantage of them. In bowling we have to go back and think about the plans. We expected some more movement but we didn’t get it here. He also batted very well, credit has to be given to him. We need to think about our plans and how to bowl better. We also need to bat longer and bat the full 50 overs.
Two Australian players scored centuries
Alice Perry (101 runs) and Georgia Wall (105 runs) scored centuries for the Australian women’s team. It was only because of the big innings of these players that the Australian team was successful in scoring a score of 371 runs. Apart from this, opener Phoebe Litchfield contributed 60 runs. Whereas wicketkeeper batsman Beth Mooney scored 56 runs. Indian bowlers had no success in front of these batsmen.
Indian bowlers gave away a lot of runs. Priya Mishra gave away 88 runs in 10 overs, which included one wicket. Saima Thakor gave away 62 runs in 10 overs and Renuka Singh gave away 78 runs in 10 overs. All these bowlers flopped miserably.
Richa Ghosh played a big innings
Indian batsmen made a good start, but could not convert it into big innings. Richa Ghosh scored the highest score of 54 runs. Apart from them, Harmanpreet Kaur contributed 38 runs, Jemimah Rodriguez contributed 43 runs and Minoo Mani contributed 46 runs. Apart from these players, no player could stay at the crease let alone score runs and that is why Team India lost.
