Now required rate is 14 lol 

 

Our limit is 8. Anything over 8 and we struggle.

This pitch is tacky. When you take pace off you can't line up easily. You need to play inventive shots like Jemima. Too bad she had very little balls to face.

India made 188 in the first match.

Harman should not have come ahead of Jemim

Today we gifted wickets. Both Mandhana and Shafali were bossing them.

 

But Eng had a few drops too. In T20s you're going to lose wkts but we're still dependent on a select few. And Mandhana played a lot of dots when Shefali was hitting Eng bowlers around. We're playing jaded cricket and lack power hitting.

[vvvslaxman]

INdia was 9/2 in the first match still got 188. Today we were far better yet we are struggling.

She played well in the first match.  Looked like improved. Even today she was okay at the start. Once they started taking pace off they lost the plot

 

Very poor batting.

When the ball is on pace we play well.

Outside opwer play every one is struggling not just her.

She is bamboozled by slow leg cutters.  India conceded 39 runs in the last 2 overs. Reddy bowled pace on conceded 24 runs in 20th over. England was heading towards an under par total.  She is retired out now

 

The damage's done. Once RR is over 12 in Women's cricket you're done. And in India's case that number is closer to 9 as we lack 6 hitters.

[vvvslaxman]

Jemima should always bat up the order ahead of Harmanpreet who is  severely limited.

Yup. But she's the one who sucked all momentum. Before her we were cruising with Reqd rate of 8. She came in, couldn't do anything and didn't even try to hit over the top.

[vvvslaxman]

Last match Jemima batted at 4 with harman missing out.

Yup coz she lacks power hitting and may as well make the most of fielding restrictions.

[vvvslaxman]

Phattu innings from Harman. 28 runs 2 sixes.. that means 16 runs in 20 balls.

[vvvslaxman]

This was like watching Hardik pandya batting on an off day

That was batting first. As I mentioned in an earlier post, our best bet is to bat first and put up a score in access of 160. But if we're chasing, anything over 160 is mostly beyond us and our ceiling against better teams is chasing 140-150.

This is a powerful enough unit. England was scared of 170 all commies. Just that they did not slot the players correctly.  

[Ultimate_Game]

Sad part is Indian players can't even loft the ball. Everything is still along the ground when they need 20 an over!

[vvvslaxman]

Freaking ARundhathi reddy shouldn't be playing next match. Sri Charani bowled beautifully and she was all over England.
