Reviewing her team's performance, the 36-year-old said:"The way we started, we thought we would set 30 or 40 more runs on the board. We missed out in the last 6-7 overs. We kept losing wickets and that cost us. It was a good batting wicket but we were not able to capitalize in the last 6-7 overs. The openers have been outstanding for us. For so many games they've been giving us good starts. Last three games, we were not able to bat well in the middle-overs.""Our lower order took the responsibility but today the first 40 overs were really good and the last ten, we did not execute well. You're not going to be 100 per cent all the time but it's important how you come back. Lots of positives from this game. Two bad games are not going to make a big difference for us but going forward, there are a lot of things we need to sort out," Kaur continued.Australia will next face Bangladesh on October 16, while India will square off against England on October 19.
