Lower order collapse cost us the match: Harmanpreet
VISAKHAPATNAM [Maha Media]: India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur rued a stunning lower-order collapse as world champions Australia chased down a record 331 to seal a three-wicket win in the Women's World Cup here on Sunday.
At 294 for 4 with more than seven overs remaining, India looked set to cross 350, but lost their last six wickets for just 36 runs in seven overs. Annabel Sutherland ran through the Indian lower order, claiming her maiden five-wicket haul (5/40 in 9.5 overs).
"The way we started, we could have added more 30-40 runs. We missed runs in the last six overs and that cost us," said Harmanpreet in the post-match presentation.
