3rd ODI: Smriti And Harmanpreet Look At Positives Despite Loss To Australia In Series Decider
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur: Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana struck a tone of optimism and reflection despite India suffering a 43-run defeat to Australia in the ODI series decider at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In a run-fest in which multiple records were broken, India were bowled out for 369 in a chase of 413, despite an epic 125 by Smriti, while Harmanpreet and Deepti Sharma hit 52 and 72 respectively.
Smriti, who also scored a century in 50 balls, the fastest hundred by an Indian woman batter in ODIs, said playing an optimistic brand of cricket was the team’s motto before coming out to bat in the second innings.
“The only thing is not to think about anything, just react to the ball. We knew the wicket was good and the outfield was fast, and we'll get value for our shots. You don't have a choice when you're chasing 400, have to play that brand of cricket.”
