After losing to Australia, Harmanpreet Kaur made a big statement about reaching the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup

Indian women's team lost their last match of Women's T20 World Cup 2024 with a close margin of 9 runs. Australia women's team, who came out to bat first, were restricted to 151 runs in the stipulated 20 overs by the Indian bowlers. In response, Team India could score 142 runs. With this victory, while Australia has reached the semi-finals, now women's team of India is on the mercy of luck. India will want that Pakistan wins and enters at the semi-finals. After the defeat in front of Aus, Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur has also shown her pain about reaching at the semi-finals.

Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur, in the aftermath of losing the match against the Aussies, had said, "I think their whole team contributes, they are not dependent on one or two players, they have many all-rounders who contribute. We also planned well and we were present in the game but they did not give easy runs and made it difficult. They are an experienced team.

She further said that this is something that is not in your control, you always have to keep your playing eleven ready, even if one or two players are out. Radha bowled really well, she was in the game and she fielded well. You need such a character in the team that is always present. It was a target that could be achieved. When I and Deepti were batting, we could not hit some loose balls.

If we get a chance to play one more game, that will be great. Whichever team deserve to be there, that team will be there," said Harmanpreet Kaur as her words reflected the pain of not being able to make it to the semifinals of the World Cup.
