‘Should Have Taken More Responsibility’: Harmanpreet Rues Batting Collapse As Australia Beat India In Second T20I
Harmanpreet Kaur: Harmanpreet Kaur admitted India’s batting unit failed to take responsibility at key moments after the Women in Blue suffered a 19-run defeat to Australia in the second T20I at Manuka Oval in Canberra on Thursday, as the visitors lost momentum during a dramatic late collapse while chasing 164.
India were well placed in the chase at multiple stages, including a crucial middle-phase partnership between Harmanpreet and Smriti Mandhana that kept the required rate under control. However, the game shifted decisively when Mandhana was dismissed, followed by Harmanpreet’s departure in the 17th over, triggering a collapse that saw India lose six wickets for just seven runs.
Reflecting on that phase, Harmanpreet pointed to the loss of key wickets and the lack of finishing as decisive factors.
