Harmanpreet Kaur reflects on match-winning knock
"In all the matches I wanted to give my best in batting, but today's game was crucial to us," she said. "The plan was to spend some time on the wicket and then see how things go. That really worked for me.
"The first [ten] balls, I didn't get any runs but then I was just talking to myself: 'I'm not going to lose myself, just be there, be there for the team'."
With the series level 1-1, India Women got off to a superb start as Pratika Rawal (26) and Smriti Mandhana (45) stitched a stand of 64 runs for the opening wicket. However, it was Harmanpreet who stole the show as she also completed 4000 runs in ODIs. Harleen Deol (45), Jemimah Rodrigues (50) and Richa Ghosh (38) would also play their role as India scored 318/5 in their 50 overs.
