T20 World Cup 2023, INDW vs AUSW: Twitter reacts as Harmanpreet Kaur's valiant effort in semi-finals goes in-vain

Australia extend their dominance as they make yet another World Cup Final, and look favorites yet again. India though will go home feeling gutted. They were in the game throughout and looked in a really good position when Jemimah Rodriguez and Harmanpreet Kaur were out their. With both of them cruising yet again, the game was tilting towards India.

As was the case in the 2022 Commonwealth games though, India collapsed. A freak dimissal for Harmanpreet Kaur started a procession of wickets as India slowed down. Australia on their part were brilliant in the field. Ellyse Perry stood out with an incredible diving stop to save what could have been a crucial boundary in the 19th over.

India on the other hand were rather clumsy in the field. They did not hold on to their chances after getting off to a good start with the ball, and were poor in the death. Renuka Singh, one of the best bowlers in the side crumbled under pressure herself as Australia dug into her in the Final Over of their innings.

Here’s How Twitter Reacted

India lost ODI WC final by 9 runs.
India lost CWG final by 9 runs.
India lost T20 WC Semi by 5 runs.

In all these 3 games, India was in winning position then lost the plot, tough to digest for the girls.

Too focused! Too professional! Too clinical!

Frankly, Australia was ahead of India in every department in #AUSvIND semis of #T20WorldCup2023.

Harmanpreet Kaur's runout was indeed unfortunate. but it was the dismissal of Jemimah Rodrigues that helped Aussies regain the ground.
