It has been a close loss for India but not without a lot of mistakes which aren’t usually done in a do or die match. As it would hurt a lot of hopes and emotions.

In the ground of Newlands cricket, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. The women in blue had kept Australia blocked till the first six overs as experience of Shikha Pandey counts a lot. But there were plenty of mistakes like dropping easy catches , miss fielding and stumping.

It seemed like till the time these two batsmen are there India will make it into the finals. But the reality turned out to be something else.

India was 3 down for 28 and then came the skipper who played an outstanding inning. The skipper Harmanpreet Kaur played a knock of 52 runs in 34 balls with 6 fours and a six whereas Jemima scored 43 runs in 24 balls with 6 fours. She got out like Mahendra Singh Dhoni got out against New Zealand in the world cup semi-final of 2019.

Kaur felt so bad that she threw the bat on the field out of frustration and cried after India lost by 5 runs.

Anjum Chopra empathised with skipper Kaur as India bit the dust in the semi-finals.

Shefali Verma and Smriti Mandhana too couldn’t give a strong and .Renuka Thakur’s spell caused 40 runs in 4 overs. This is not the first time when India was brought down to her knees rather the sixth time Australia defeated India. Previously, India lost in the finals against Australia in the World Cup ODI and this time it is the T20.

Hopefully India will learn from their mistakes and next time will be well equipped to give the Aussies a tough competition.
