Harmanpreet Kaur wins heart, carries mascot off the field after she fell on the ground
Harmanpreet lifted a young girl, who accompanied her during the national anthem ceremony, and handed her over to the ground staff after the little girl fell ill on the ground
Harmanpreet Kaur is a role model both on and off the field. After her record-breaking 103-run knock against New Zealand gave India a winning start in the World T20, the Indian skipper won hearts with her generous act before India’s second group encounter against Pakistan.
Harmanpreet lifted a young girl, who accompanied her during the national anthem ceremony, and handed her over to the ground staff after the little girl fell ill on the ground. The girl felt dizzy- perhaps because of the excessive heat of Guyana - immediately after Pakistan’s national anthem. Harmanpreet checked on her, waited for India’s national to get over and then carried her safely to the ground staff.

In the match, Veteran Mithali Raj smashed an aggressive half-century to guide India to an easy 7-wicket victory.
Raj anchored the Indian run chase with a 47-ball 56 which she made with the help of seven fours in the Group B match which was marred by unprecedented docking of 10 penalty runs on Pakistan.
Even before a ball being faced, 10 runs were on India's scoreboard after Pakistan were docked five-run penalty twice during their innings on account of their batswomen running on the danger area of the pitch during their innings.
India chased down the target of 134 with six balls to spare, reaching 137 for 3 in 19 overs. Previous game centurion Harmanpreet Kaur and Veda Krishnamurthy remained not out on 14 and 8 respectively.
