India captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Wednesday attributed the 21-run defeat to Australia within the third ladies’s T20 International as a consequence of their incapacity to rotate strike.
Harmanpreet mentioned her aspect had fancied its possibilities to chase down 173 however the too many dot balls the host batters performed meant that they had been restricted to 151 for 7 in the long run.
“Yes, definitely, getting them on 170-odd runs, we really thought we were in with a chance,” Harmanpreet mentioned on the post-match presentation.
“But I think there were few overs where we scored less than 6 overs, that cost us. We had lot of dot balls after hitting boundary, we need to rotate strike, but that didn’t happen.
“One of us wanted to stay till the end, but we had to hit boundaries and sometimes you lose wickets when you play like that. We have a deep batting line-up now so it’s not like we have to keep thinking about someone playing till the end.”
She mentioned she was completely happy for the likes of Anjali Sarvani and Renuka Singh.
“Yes definitely, the way they are taking responsibility and playing for the team is outstanding to watch. We are impressed with how they are bowling.” Australia captain Alyssa Healy mentioned, “Tonight, the top order sort of got out of the way and the middle order came and did an amazing job.
“The impact that Harris had was remarkable and I thought Ellyse Perry played an outstanding knock. Very proud of the batting group.”
