1. Shefali dropped a simple catch at the boundary
India's fielding against Australia was very poor. Shefali Verma dropped a simple catch by Beth Mooney at long on. Mooney was then batting on 32 when she was dismissed for 54.
Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh dropped the catch of Australian captain Meg Lanning. Lanning was then playing on one run, she remained not out after scoring 49 runs. He took Australia's score to 172 by hitting Renuka Singh for two sixes in the last over. Richa also missed an easy stumping opportunity in the 13th over.
2. Too many runs given by bad fielding
Apart from dropping catches, India fielded very poorly on several occasions. Fielders like Shikha Pandey, Deepti Sharma and Shefali Verma were having balls going under their hands. Australia took advantage of poor fielding and took 2-2 runs 8 times.
3. Harman's bat stuck in the pitch
Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur was run out in the 15th over after scoring 52 runs. From here the whole match turned.
