Harmanpreet Kaur says Australia remains a formidable side despite Alyssa Healy's retirement as India gear up for a must-win Women's T20 World Cup clash.
After being put in to bat, the focus was on how India’s top order handles the Gabba’s trademark bounce and carry despite Australia missing their lead pacer Josh Hazlewood as he continued preparations for the Ashes.
Currently leading the series 2-1, India have already ensured that their 17-year unbeaten run in T20Is against Australia remains intact. Now, Suryakumar Yadav’s men will look to finish with a flourish.
J Rodrigues was the star of the match with her unbeaten 127-run knock.
Smith had captained Australia to a massive 333-run win in the first Test against India in Pune during the 2017 series. However, India fought back to win two of the next three Tests and won the series.
Between August 1999 and February 2001, Australia won 16 straight Tests, and before this series they beat India 3-0 on home soil in the summer of 1999-2000.
Meanwhile, the Rawalpindi Express also heaped praises on India skipper Virat Kohli, who was declared the Player of the Series for scoring 183 runs in 3 matches.
Latif feels Smith should have taken 100 to 105 balls to reach his individual score of 131.
The Men in Blue will now travel to New Zealand for five T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests starting January 24.
