India Women vs Australia Women World Cup 2022.
Personally was nice to contribute, disappointed for the last couple of games, during training felt that I flicked a switch. It was nice to be able to contribute. Was a belter of a wicket, there was no turn, the ball came on nicely and any width given was really hard to defend. The plan was to play pretty straight when on the stumps and go hard when wide. We have very different games, she hits to different areas, she is very calm, keeps everything in control at all times which helps. We feed off each other and it is nice to have someone very experienced and understands things. I do, when the width was there I had to trust my hands a bit which was the plan I had coming into the game. Nice to see a few come off.
When you lose you always feel that you are 10-15 runs short. Maybe the way the Australians started, they were ahead and the fielders did not back the bowlers when it was needed. It was one of those days when the bowling unit didn't do well but they have been for the last four-five games. It has do with the girls playing in the leagues in Australia and with that comes a lot of exposure playing with the best players. Experience helps. The bowling did take a hit. The next two games becomes very important and we would look to do well in all departments. We got ourselves in that position but the next two games is a must-win for us. Thank all the people, the Indians who have come and supported us today. The experience she gets us over the years. Incredible achievement for a fast bowler to play over 200 games. It takes a lot of discipline, she is definitely a role model for many young girls back in India.
Australia defeated India by six wickets to continue their winning streak. Meg Lanning (97) and Alyssa Healy (72) starred in Australia's win.
