Women's World Cup: We Fell Short By 30-40 Runs, Says Harman After Aussie Defeat
World Cup: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur rued a missed opportunity as her team failed to capitalise on a strong platform provided by openers Smriti Mandhana (80) and Pratika Rawal (75) and finished 30-40 runs short in their three-wicket defeat to Australia in the Women's World Cup on Sunday.
With Mandhana and Rawal putting up 155 runs for the first wicket partnership, India reached 198/1 in 30 overs. But instead of capitalising on that position, India lost nine wickets for 138, including six for 36 as they were bowled out for 330 in 48.5 overs, failing to utilise their full quota of 50 overs.
Australia skipper Alyssa Healy then put up a batting masterclass, scoring a majestic 142 off 107 balls, and with Ellyse Perry (47 not out) and Ashleigh Gardner (45) making vital contributions, Australia reached 331/7 in 49 overs to win the match with six balls to spare.
