India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur felt that middle-order's lack of capitalisation on the foundation set by the top-order was the primary reason behind their three-wicket loss to Australia in the Women's World Cup 2025. Notably, India lost their last six wickets for only 36 runs and were bowled out for 330 in 48.5 overs.
Harmanpreet admitted that the pitch was far better than the one used for the clash against South Africa at the same venue. While India had set a daunting total on the board, Harmanpreet felt that the team left out good 30-40 runs.
She concluded by once again talking about the last 10 overs of the batting innings, emphasising that it will be important how India come back in the near future.
