Indian star opener Smriti Mandhana made history during the Women's World Cup clash against Australia in Visakhapatnam.
Meg Lanning praises Deepti Sharma's all-round brilliance in India's impressive World Cup start, saying her form could make rivals nervous.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur hit back at the comments made by former England mens skipper Nasser Hussain, who termed her run-out at 52 in the semi-final of Womens T20 World Cup against Australia as a 'schoolgirl error'.
Harmanpreet Kaur's run out for 52 changed the course of the game as India could only manage 34 runs in 32 balls after her dismissal.
Harmanpreet was taking the game away from Australia with blistering strokeplay but a bizzare run-out saw her bat jammed to the ground while running as she was caught short of the crease which turned the game upside down.
Australia defeated India by five runs to reach yet another T20 World Cup final. A magnificent 52 by Harmanpreet Kaur put India in a great position to chase 173 run target set by Australia but two run-outs of Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues dented India's hopes.
Australia captain Meg Lanning has won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the first semi-final of the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town on Thursday.
Ahead of India's semi-final clash against Australia in the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh acknowledged that the Meg Lanning-led side are a strong team. But at the same time, she felt India had it in them to hand Australia a defeat.
India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur feels that playing out too many dot balls in a chase of 173 against Australia in the third T20I at Brabourne Stadium cost her team a victory.
