    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, July 20:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Harmanpreet Kaur is regarded as one of the most destructive batters in the history of women&#39;s cricket and on this day, three years ago, she lived up to that billing as she tore into the Australian attack and helped India secure a place in the Women&#39;s World Cup final in 2017.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mithali Raj&#39;s decision to bat first didn&#39;t go down well as openers Smriti Mandhana and Punam Raut were dismissed for just 35 on board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mithali and Harmanpreet guided India past the 100-run mark but skipper perished soon. That is when Harmanpreet started to go berserk and batted superbly with the lower order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the course of her 115-ball innings, she scored an unbeaten 171 which included 20 boundaries and seven sixes. Her strike-rate in the rain-marred game was 148.6 as India put up a score of 281\/4 in 42 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Harmanpreet&#39;s 171* remains the sixth highest score in women&#39;s ODIs, behind Amelia Kerr (232*), Belinda Clarke (229*), Deepti Sharma (188), Chamari Attapatu (178*) and Charlotte Edwards (173*).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chasing the target, Australia didn&#39;t get off to a great start either as their top-three departed for just 21 on the board. Elyse Vilani and Alex Blackwell slammed respective half-centuries but in the end, it wasn&#39;t enough as India sealed a place in the final courtesy of a 36-run win. India, however, lost to eventual champions England in a nail-biting summit clash played at the Lords.<\/p>\r\n",
