INDW vs AUSW: Indian women's team got a big setback, Harmanpreet will not play in the second ODI against Australia

The three-match ODI series between India and the Australian women's team is underway. The team led by Mithali Raj is trailing 0-1 in the series after losing the first match. Now the second ODI between the two teams will be played on Friday (September 24). But before the match, the Indian team has suffered a major setback. The team's star batter Harmanpreet Kaur has not been fully fit yet and in such a situation she will not be able to play in this match either.

The Indian team's batting coach Shiv Sundar Das confirmed this on Thursday. She told news agency ANI, 'I think she is not healthy right now and she will not be available for the next match.

It is worth noting that even in the first ODI, Harmanpreet was not a part of the team. India had to face a crushing defeat in this match. The team had scored 225 runs thanks to 61 runs from captain Mithali Raj. But the Australian team achieved the target of 54 balls before losing one wicket.

Das said on the strategy for the next match, "We are expecting a good start from our salsa pair. If we talk about the middle order, we have worked very hard for it and we will implement it in tomorrow's match. We will try to achieve a score of 250.
