After the Indian women’s cricket team lost the T20 World Cup semifinal by five runs against Australia, Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur came up with a heartwarming post.
“This is for all our fans across the globe who have supported us throughout this World Cup. I thank you for believing in our journey,” Harman wrote on Twitter.
“I know as a cricket fan it’s sad to see your team lose.
“All I can say is that we will come back strongly and put a great show out there .”
Harmanpreet Kaur scored a terrific 52 off 34 balls in the T20 world cup semifinal against Australia. It was her runout that helped Australia win the game against India.
“Can’t be unluckier than this, to get that momentum back when me and Jemi (Jemimah Rodrigues) were batting,” Harmanpreet said in the post-match presentation.
“And to lose after that, we didn’t expect this today. The way I got runout, can’t be unluckier than that.”
“We even though we didn’t play to our strengths, we reached the semis. We gave those easy catches away. Got to take those when you want to win. We misfielded. We can only learn from these lessons and not repeat the mistakes,” she said.
Earlier, Indian women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur was disappointed after Team India once again fell short against Australia in a knockout match of the ICC tournament. While the Women in Blue had conceded 172 runs after being asked to bowl first and lost 3 wickets in the first 4 overs of their innings, the captain led from the front as her half-century (52 off 34) brought India close.
