    Women’s World Cup: Smriti’s Wicket Was A Turning Point For Us, Says Harmanpreet

    ODI World Cup: After a narrow four-run loss to England in a crucial 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup match at the Holkar Stadium, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said Smriti Mandhana’s dismissal was the turning point in a chase that had looked well in control. The defeat leaves India’s campaign hanging by a thread.

    India were cruising at 234/3 before Smriti fell to Linsey Smith for 88 and from there, a familiar collapse meant they finished four runs short of chasing 289. “I think Smriti's wicket was something which was a turning point for us and I still think we had too many batters. I don't know how things went the other way, but credit goes to England. They didn't lose. They kept bowling well and kept getting wickets there,” said Harmanpreet at the conclusion of the game.

    The feeling of faltering in the final stretch was too hard to swallow for Harmanpreet. “It is bad because you have put in so much hard work and you kept ticking the box till the end, but last 5-6 overs didn't go according to your plan. That's the worst but definitely it's a very heartbreaking moment.”
