The Indian Women’s Team did showcase the flashes of brilliance when it comes to approach their batting in first 30 overs things were going in full flow later failed to captailize that momentum as they lost quick wickets in form of Harmanpreet Kaur and Harleen Deol who failed to capitialize when it is needed the most.
Smriti and Pratika in the beginning gave flying start where Pratika Rawal scored 75 runs complemented by Smriti Mandhana who scored 80 runs once they get out it was all down to Harleen Deol and Harmanpreet Kaur but these two faltered again.
Some vital contributions from Richa Ghosh and Jemmimah Rodriques enabled India to captailize momentum even further.

Final Perspective:
Indian Team so far have played 12 edition of World Cup barring this one they have failed to win single edition so far which in itself talks a lot about Cricket they have played.
There are several areas where they need to improve be it strike rotations, catching issues as well ability to accelerate runs in the mid overs is the biggest thing which they need to overcome otherwise more than winning any multilateral events they can’t even against top teams including the likes of- Australia, England and New Zealand.
Someone has to make them accountable it can’t go like this all the facilities are being provided to them yet the class of cricket they are playing is pretty outdated.
They haven’t won any multilateral events at all, management have worked hard behind the scenes to give them equal pay, WPL attracting fans and domestic cricket where talented players are coming up the ranks still this team is good for nothing and can’t win any big event.
Serious intrspection is needed so that standard of Women’s Cricket could substantially improve.
