Captain Harmanpreet of the Indian women's team was in tears after losing the semi-final against Australia in the T20 World Cup on Thursday. When former captain Anjum Chopra came to meet her after the match, Harmanpreet hugged her. Although later handled himself.
Harmanpreet was wearing glasses in the presentation after the match. She said, "I don't want the country to see my tears. If I had stayed at the crease till the end, we would have won the match. If my bat had not stuck in the crease, that run would have been easy. We would have won the match an over earlier. Richa and Deepti were at the crease. I was confident. Richa has batted brilliantly throughout the tournament. But 7-8 empty balls turned the match."
In the semi-final match played in Cape Town, South Africa, Australia gave India a target of 173 runs. India had lost 3 wickets for 33 but a 69-run inning between Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues saw India heading toward victory.
But after the wicket of Jemima, Harmanpreet was unfortunately run out. His bat got stuck in the crease while taking an easy run. India got defeated by 5 runs in this match.
Anjum Chopra said – Harman may not even play the semi-finals, but he is not one to pull back
Anjum Chopra said, "I wanted to sympathize with the captain of the team from outside. I can only sympathize from outside. It was an emotional moment for him. Many times the Indian team has reached the semi-finals and lost.
I have seen this many times. I have seen him fight with his health and injuries. Maybe she doesn't play the semi-finals. She is Harmanpreet Kaur and it was the World Cup semi-final. He is not one to take a step back, he is one to take a step forward.
Before the match today, she could bring herself in that position to field 20 overs. Ran across the field. Harmanpreet raised hopes. 5 runs are too many and there are also too few. The situation the match was in, I can understand what his situation would be."
Harmanpreet's runout was the turning point, Jemima was out on a bouncer
Jemima and Harmanpreet at one point took the match away from Australia. But Jemima was caught by the wicketkeeper while teasing a bouncer from Australian bowler Brown. Then India's score was 97 runs in 10.2 overs. The victory was looking easy for India.
After this Harmanpreet Kaur was run out in the 15th over. From here the whole match turned. Harmanpreet Kaur's bat got stuck in the pitch while trying to take the second run on the fourth ball of the over. She could not complete the run and was dismissed by Australian wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy. Harman was seen out in the replays.
