Women’s T20 WC: Harmanpreet’s fifty in vain as Australia beat India to reach semis
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur's unbeaten 54* went in vain as Australia beat India by nine runs in Group A match to reach Women's T20 World Cup semi-finals on Sunday.
All India women’s selection committee of the BCCI announced on Wednesday that Harleen Deol would replace India’s T20I skipper Harmanpreet Kaur in the Indian women’s ODI squad for the upcoming three-match One Day International (ODI) series against England starting on 22 February. The ODI series between India and England will be played at the iconic Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
Kaur has been ruled out of the ODI series against England due to an ankle injury. However, it is not confirmed if Harmanpreet Kaur will also miss the three-match T20I series, which will be played after the ODI series.
