3rd ODI: Have To Learn To Take Things Till The End, Says Harmanpreet After India's 3-0 Defeat To Australia
A target of 299 against Australia was always a tall ask at the WACA Stadium, but Smriti Mandhana’s 105 meant India were in the hunt. But once she fell to Ashleigh Gardner with the score 189/4, the Indian innings crumbled like a pack of cards to be all out for 215 in 45.1 overs.
It also meant Arundhati Reddy’s career-best 4-27 also went in vain for India, who ended their short tour without a win and more question marks being raised about their preparedness for the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup. "We bowled well, Arundhati especially, because of her we were in the game. We have a lot to learn from these games, will go back and analyse the tour. Smriti's knock and when Richa scored 50 in the second game, that was crucial. We did well in patches but did not continue to keep the momentum. We have to learn how to take things till the end," said Harmanpreet after the match ended.
