NEW DELHI: Regular defeats within the knock-out phases of world occasions have haunted the Indian group for fairly a while now. And on Thursday, it was one other setback for Harmanpreet Kaur and co. because the Indian group crashed out of the Women’s T20 World Cup after struggling a five-run defeat within the semi-final in opposition to Australia in Cape Town.
In current instances, the Women in Blue have misplaced the ODI World Cup ultimate to England in 2017, the 2020 T20 World Cup ultimate to Australia and the 2022 CWG ultimate to Australia in Birmingham.
Still coping with the frustration of the semi-final defeat, top-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues on Friday stated that the group has been exhibiting promise and is about to dominate the sport within the foreseeable future.
“I think this team has been showing a lot of promise, we are pushing and pushing and we know something big is coming. What is in our hands is to keep working harder and keep trusting.
“We know when it is our time, no one can cease this group. This group goes to dominate for ages,” Rodrigues told ICC.
Chasing a competitive 172-run target, India nearly pulled off a thrilling win riding on skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (52 off 34) and Jemimah Rodrigues’ (43 off 24) 41-ball 69-run fourth wicket stand before falling just short.
Hailing the performances of youngsters like wicket-keeper Richa Ghosh, Rodrigues said India will definitely upstage Australia in near future.
“The first one would be the rise of children like Richa. This Indian group is looking for a finisher and she or he may very well be the one, and she or he is definitely the one for us.
“This team shows a lot of promise. And if you go to see how the average age is, it’s around 24, so I imagine that we’ll be giving this Australian team competition a few years down the line,” she stated.
It was so close to but to date for India on Thursday evening, and Rodrigues stated it can take a while to recover from the loss.
“Honestly its not sunk in still. Everyone was quiet in the dressing room. It will take us some time,” she stated.
“What we discussed was to have the right intent and cricket is a game that anything can happen. We are not really focussed on the results, we are focussed on the process but things didn’t go our way.
“Few unlucky run outs … however it teaches you that failure will not be failure, it is truly a studying. We will take loads of studying from this and we promised we’re going to work arduous.”
Had it not been for Harmanpreet’s freaky run out, India could have ended on the other side of the result.
“We have been going effectively. We had it below management. If you had seen them more often than not, we have been above them in each section. Just the final section we tousled.
“Harman’s dismissal was a very unfortunate one. I don’t know what to say. This is like a learning experience. And I promise you that every single girl is going to work very hard,” she stated.
