After suffering a 13-run loss to Pakistan in Women’s Asia Cup, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur admitted that giving batting chances to other batters backfired in the match.
After the 41-run victory over Sri Lanka in the opening match of the tournament, India had been experimenting with their batting order against Malaysia and the UAE, which resulted in wins.
In Friday’s match against Pakistan, Dayalan Hemalatha, Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma were sent in to bat ahead of Harmanpreet who came out to bat at number seven instead of her usual number four position.
But the experiment failed to give desired results and despite Richa Ghosh’s late cameo of 26 off just 13 balls, hitting three sixes and a four, India fell short of target by 13 runs, bowled out for 124 in 19.4 overs.
“In the middle, we were trying to give the chance to other batters, which cost us today. Because you have to do that as the tournament goes on, but it backfired. It was a chaseable target. In the middle overs, we were not able to take singles and rotate strike, we played too many dot balls,” said Harmanpreet in the post-match presentation ceremony.
