They Were Pretty Good In The Chase: Mithali Notes Positives In India's Loss To England
New Delhi: Former India captain Mithali Raj analysed the team’s performance after their loss to England at the Women’s World Cup and lauded India’s performance, saying there were very good partnerships and the game slipped out of their hands after Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma's dismissals.
India suffered their third consecutive defeat of the tournament, falling short against the four-time World Cup winners despite another strong batting performance. The Women in Blue were handed a 289-run target by the Nat Sciver-Brunt-led side, courtesy of a brilliant century by the team’s former skipper, Heather Knight.
The hosts did well in the chase, with Smriti, Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti notching up half-centuries, they fell short by just four runs and could get to 284/6 in 50 overs.
