Women's T20 WC: 'Kapp Got Three Reprieves And Capitalised On Them...', Says Veda On India's Missed Chances
T20 World Cup: Former India batter Veda Krishnamurthy believes India's fielding lapses, particularly the dropped chances offered to Marizanne Kapp, proved decisive in their six-wicket defeat to South Africa in the Women's T20 World Cup at Old Trafford, adding that the team should also consider changes to its bowling attack ahead of its crucial group clashes against Bangladesh and Australia.
Reflecting on the turning points in the contest, Veda said India had several opportunities to tighten their grip on the game but failed to seize them, allowing Kapp to produce the innings that ultimately swung the result in South Africa's favour. She also felt India could have persisted longer with debut leg-spinner Prema Rawat during the middle overs.
"Obviously, with Shreyanka Patil not being there, you could sense her absence, since she is easily your four-over bowler. But Shafali Verma took responsibility and did the job rather well in both the Powerplay and the middle overs. T20 cricket is all about key moments, and the mind goes back to those dropped catches of Marizanne Kapp.
