She should continue doing the same and she should continue enjoying her game,&quot; Harmanpreet said at the post-match presentation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India have finished Group A at the top of the table and the skipper wants her team not to get complacent and continue with their momentum in the semi-final which they would be playing against yet to be confirmed opponents on March 5 in Sydney.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s really important to keep the momentum when you are winning games. You really work hard, so you can&#39;t afford to lose that momentum. You can&#39;t bowl same pace and lengths on these wickets, so you need to keep rotating the bowlers.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking about her own batting form which has not been great in the ongoing tournament, Harmanpreet said: &quot;In the upcoming games I&#39;ll try to give my best.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
