Harmanpreet Kaur Crying After Match – Indian Captain Emotional Scenes: The Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 was a highly anticipated event, with fans eagerly waiting to see which team would come out on top. India had high hopes for the tournament and were determined to win their first-ever T20 World Cup title. However, their dreams were shattered after a heart-breaking five-run defeat against Australia in the semi-final clash.
Despite the loss, Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian captain, played a captain’s knock, scoring 52 off 34 balls. Her brilliant innings gave India hope of chasing down Australia’s total of 172 runs. However, India fell just five runs short in the end.
Harmanpreet was emotional in the post-match presentation and wore glasses to hide her tears. She said that she did not want her country to see her crying and promised that the team would improve and not let the nation down again in the future.
” I don’t want my country to see me crying, hence I am wearing these glasses. I promise, we will improve and won’t let our nation down like this again,” Harmanpreet said after the match.
The Indian captain also spoke about her run-out, which she described as the unluckiest moment of the match. Her bat got stuck in the ground while she was just inches away from completing a run. Her dismissal proved to be a game-changing moment, and she let her frustration show with her expression on her way back to the pavilion.
“Can’t feel unluckier than this. We got the momentum back with Jemi. To lose from here, we weren’t expecting this. The way I got run out, can’t be unluckier than that. Putting the effort was important, and we were happy to go to the last ball. We wanted to fight till the last ball. Today we wanted to chase too, so that was fine when they chose to bat. Even after losing the first two wickets, we knew we had a good batting line-up,” Harmanpreet said.
India had a tough start, losing both openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma with just 15 runs on the board. However, Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues pulled off a 69-run stand for the fourth wicket to keep India alive. Harmanpreet’s brilliant knock kept India in the driving seat for a while, but her dismissal turned the tide in Australia’s favor.
After Harmanpreet’s dismissal, India managed to add just 34 runs from 32 balls. Asheigh Gardner bowled a match-winning spell of 2/37 as she conceded just 10 runs while defending 16 runs in the 20th over.
Despite the loss, India’s performance in the tournament was admirable. The team showed great spirit and determination, and the captain’s words after the match showed that they were not ready to give up.
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 was a great success, and it showcased some of the best talent in women’s cricket from around the world. The tournament also helped to raise the profile of women’s cricket and provided a platform for young girls to aspire to be future cricket stars.
In the end, it was Australia who emerged as the champions, beating England in a thrilling final. However, India’s performance in the tournament will be remembered for a long time, and the team will no doubt come back stronger in the future. The Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 may be over, but the memories of the tournament will live on for
