After making 282\/8, their best-ever women\u2019s ODI score against Australia, the visitors chased down the total in 46.3 overs, with India\u2019s 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\u2019s ODI history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe 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,\u201d said Harmanpreet after the match ended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After losing the one-off Test, Australia managed to bounce back with a win on their tour of India. Captain Alyssa Healy praised her batters for chasing the total without breaking a sweat. \"Sometimes you just gotta get out the way and let the good players do their thing. Dew came in late in the game but I thought we could've been tighter in the last ten while bowling.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Batting approach was sensational, that was the blueprint we want to put out there. Our batters play down the ground really well, helps when the ball is skidding on a little bit. Girls bounced back and showed how we wanted to play.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia now have a 1-0 lead in the three-game series, with the second match to happen at the same venue on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bowlers-did-their-job-but-fielding-didnt-work-well-says-harmanpreet-after-odi-series-opener-loss.jpg", "alt_img": "Bowlers did their job but fielding didn't work well, says Harmanpreet after ODI series opener loss", "alt_title": "Mumbai: India women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur addresses a press conference", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Bowlers Did Their Job But Fielding Didn't Work Well, Says Harmanpreet After ODI Series Opener Loss On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "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.", "seo_keywords": "Harmanpreet Kaur, Wankhede Stadium, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Captain Alyssa Healy", "tag": "", "tagging": "Harmanpreet Kaur, Wankhede Stadium, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Captain Alyssa Healy", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "bowlers-did-their-job-but-fielding-didnt-work-well-says-harmanpreet-after-odi-series-opener-loss", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "724", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-12-29 13:12:04", "updated": "2023-12-29 13:12:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Harmanpreet Kaur, Wankhede Stadium, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Captain Alyssa Healy", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-12-29 13:12:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/bowlers-did-their-job-but-fielding-didnt-work-well-says-harmanpreet-after-odi-series-opener-loss-134996" }
