Bowlers Did Their Job But Fielding Didn't Work Well, Says Harmanpreet After ODI Series Opener Loss
Captain Alyssa Healy: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said she was happy with the bowling department, but was critical of the fielding effort in her team’s six-wicket defeat to Australia in the ODI series opener at Wankhede Stadium.
After making 282/8, their best-ever women’s ODI score against Australia, the visitors chased down the total in 46.3 overs, with India’s fielding being a letdown. Phoebe Litchfield (78), Ellyse Perry (75), Tahlia McGrath (68 off 55 balls) and Beth Mooney (42) starred in Australia acing the second-highest successful chase in women’s ODI history.
“We managed to get a defendable total. Bowlers did their job but fielding didn't work well. After a while dew was there, but bowlers did well to keep stumps in play. But I was unhappy with our fielding, Australia were amazing saving runs. Pooja was great. We need to back ourselves and play aggressive cricket,” said Harmanpreet after the match ended.
