"Unlike
in the league matches, it was not Smriti Mandhana or
Punam
Raut or Mithali Raj; it was Harmanpreet Kaur
who
batted aggressively to score an individual 171.
The
match of the Women's Cricket World Cup semi final at Derby
on
20th July 2017 got reduced to 42 overs a side due to rainfall
and
for Australia, the Indian team set a competitive target of 281.
Jhulan
Goswami, Sikha Pandey
and
Deepti Sharma started well
for
India by taking 1 wicket EACH.
When
Elyse Villani was looking very dangerous for India,
Rajeswari
Gayakwad got her wicket as Smriti Mandhana
caught
the ball which was at her REACH.
Despite
Alex Blackwell's terrific fight till the end, Australia lost
the
match by 36 runs as they started losing wickets at
regular
intervals because the required run rate
kept
on increasing to create a
huge
pressure of chasing a big TOTAL.
To
motivate women of India to play the game of cricket
and
to show to the world the talents of Indian women cricketers,
winning
the final match to lift the Women's Cricket World Cup in the
year
of 2017 by the Indian women cricket team
like
a champion team is really very VITAL."- Arindam Sain
