Indian women\u2019s cricket team suffered a four-wicket loss against the mighty Australia after a disappointing batting performance in their second match of the T20 tri-series in Canberra on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India struggled to 103 for nine in 20 overs after being asked to bat. The visiting team\u2019s bowlers did well to stretch the game till the penultimate over but there were not enough runs on the board. Elysse Perry was the undisputed star of the game, picking up three wickets in one before before making 49 off 47 balls in Australia\u2019s chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur lower order definitely needs to bat a lot better, especially when the top-order doesn\u2019t get runs. However, really appreciate the performance of the bowlers,\u201d said India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur at the post-match presentation. India next play against England at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on February 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India lost their last six wickets for 21 runs with pacer Perry picking three of them in 14th over over, removing Harmanpreet, Taniya Bhatia and Deepti Sharma.Sixteen-year-old Shafali Verma, touted as the next big thing in women\u2019s cricket, lasted only three balls while Jemimah Rodrigues crawled to 1 off 11 balls, leaving their team at 16 for two in three overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The experienced Mandhana and Harmanpreet stitched a 40-run stand before the latter\u2019s dismissal triggered a collapse. The spin-heavy Indian bowling attack did all they could with left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad taking two wickets for 18 runs in four overs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
