IND star receives stern rebuke from Harmanpreet Kaur after major misunderstanding against AUS
In the exciting clash between India and Australia during the 2025 Women’s World Cup, a pivotal moment emerged that drew attention. The match, held in Viazg, saw the Indian team setting a formidable foundation with an excellent opening partnership.
Strong Start by India
India’s innings kicked off with a remarkable 155-run opening partnership between Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana. This strong start was crucial for the team’s momentum in the high-stakes match.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s Frustration
The Indian captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, faced frustration during her innings. Despite looking in good shape, she scored only 22 runs off 17 balls, which included three boundaries.
A significant incident occurred during the 35th over. Kaur attempted to run for a quick single but faced miscommunication with teammate Harleen Deol. Kaur’s frustration was evident as she expressed her displeasure towards Deol for the lack of communication.
Impact on Performance
Despite delivering consecutive boundaries off Australian bowler Megan Schutt immediately after the incident, Kaur struggled to maintain her focus. This led to her quick dismissal in the following over, a setback for the Indian side.
Harleen Deol also couldn’t convert her start into a significant contribution. She scored 38 runs from 42 balls, which included three fours and a six, before leaving the field shortly after Kaur’s dismissal.
Current Status of the Match
As of the latest updates, India stands at 252 runs for the loss of four wickets after 39 overs. The team aims to surpass a total of 300 runs to solidify their position in this crucial match against Australia.
