Though Harmanpreet Kaur said her team did well to restrict Australia to below 300, she said there were lots of positives for them in the match despite the dropped catches.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said she was happy with the bowling department, but was critical of the fielding effort in her team’s six-wicket defeat to Australia in the ODI series opener at Wankhede Stadium.
Whether a meeting between the board president and the Indian captain was held was not common knowledge but, if you look back, what happened did not really elevate cricket, stopping far short of widening even its commercial appeal.
India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur praised her bowlers, especially the young ones, for setting up her team's seven-wicket win over hosts Bangladesh in the series opening T20 match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium here on Sunday.
Interestingly, she trained to be a cricketer as a boy during her growing up years because no cricket academies in her home town of Rohtak admitted girls.
Harmanpreet timed her jump to perfection and caught the ball mid-air before landing safely and well inside the ropes.
Harmanpreet Kaur is among 10 female players who have reached the three-figure mark in terms of appearances. New Zealand's Suzie Bates and Australia's Ellyse Perry top the list with 111 appearances.
After opting to bowl, India restricted South Africa to 98 for 8 in their stipulated quota of 20 overs at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium in Surat.
The fourth match will be played on Tuesday. The T20 series will be followed by a three-match ODI rubber in Vadodara.
