Australia Women vs India Women: In the first semi-final match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, the Indian team faced a close 5-run defeat against Australia. After the defeat in the match, Indian player Jemima Rodrigues told that the run out of captain Harmanpreet Kaur proved to be the turning point of this match.
In this match, the Indian team had got a target of 173 runs to win. The Indian team was chasing the target very well, but in the 15th over, captain Harmanpreet Kaur was run out in an attempt to take 2 runs. At that time, Team India needed 41 runs in 34 balls to win. Harmanpreet Kaur returned to the pavilion after playing an innings of 52 runs in 34 balls.
According to ICC, Jemima said after the end of this match that we were chasing the target very well and the match was also under our control. If we look at this match, most of the time we had the upper hand only in the last moments we lost this match. Harmanpreet Kaur’s unfortunate run out proved to be the turning point of the match.
Jemima further said that I do not know what to say at this time. No one is happy with this defeat and everyone is disappointed. We have to learn from this defeat and get on the field in a better way in future. All the players in our team have great spirit and most of them are young players.
The average age of our team is just 24
One of the young players who made headlines for the Indian team in this T20 World Cup is 19-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Richa Ghosh. Regarding whom Jemima said that I think among the young players who impressed with her performance, Richa’s name comes first. The Indian team was looking for a finisher player and she has been seen doing so. If you look at the average age of our team, it would be around 24 years. Looking at this, I can imagine that we will definitely give tough competition to Australia in the coming few years.
