"Need to think of how we can do better" – Harmanpreet Kaur reacts to India Women loss to Australia Women

Harmanpreet Kaur said that India Women failed to deliver their best, especially with the bat and fielding, losing the match and the ODI series 0-3 to Australia Women. On this, she said:

“I think the ODI series didn't go well, we tried our best. Some of them performed well and some of us need to think of how we can do better. When we are playing red ball, we have a lot of time to think and execute. But in white ball, you don't have that kind of time.”

Kaur added:

"We always discuss about the Australian fielding, because skill-wise we believe we are really close. Fielding is something that has been bothering us, and we need to think about that and do well in the future.”

She continued:

“We are doing a lot of hard work, but now we need to focus on T20s and take a few positives from this series. The youngsters, Shreyanka and all, have been chipping in and performing really well. That's one of the positives."

India Women will next play the three-match T20I series against the Aussies, which starts at DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on January 5.
