After the first defeat against India, Alyssa Heli said: 'We lost the game due to a bad day'

Mumbai, December 24 (IANS), Australian captain Alyssa Heli, said on Sunday that her team first allowed Bat and India to achieve 91/1 at the end of the first day, and left Australian women on the back foot. On the fourth and final day of the match, India defeated Australia by eight wickets after the fourth morning, after firing the visiting team for 261 in 15.4 overs, they reached 75/2 in their second innings, in which Sneh Rana took place, took 4-63 wickets while captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Rajeshwari Gaikwad took two wickets. Heli said at a press conference after the match on Sunday: “We knew it was going to be a difficult question, but I am very proud of my group and the struggle we showed. I think at the end of the day we probably had a bad day of cricket, the price you had to pay. The four -day play of cricket. But it was a pleasant experience.” India covered the top team of women’s cricket for 219, in which fast bowler Pooja Vatkar had an initial impact with 4-53 and Sneh Rana contributed 3-56 in the first innings. After this, the hosts scored 406 runs with the help of half -centers from Deepti Sharma (78), Smriti Mandhana (74), Jemima Rodrigues (73) and Debutant Richa Ghosh (52) and took a 187 -run lead. The Australian captain said the Australians are confident that they can win the game, even after they were on the last day before 46 runs, while having five wickets in their hands. “I don’t think at any point (that the game is out of hand), maybe just as Smriti Mandhana hit a four on the last ball.” I think all the results were possible, even when it came today. I think we really believe it in the exchange room. I think if we beat about 30-40 overs this morning and even more than 100, maybe over 150 boards, you could have been really interesting this afternoon. “Heli said his team only went to the foot foot after the first day because he gave India a bad bat and bowling. I think when we won the throw, we beat and were on the first day and then maybe 90 runs in the afternoon. It makes things really challenging for us. We were almost on the first day. ‘ Meg Lanning and return to the injury, said she was satisfied with the way her team returned to the match. He said: “From my perspective, the fact that we struggled for the next 2 1/2 days and brought the game to the position where it was this afternoon, I think it was a great effort from our group and we can take it. It’s a great confidence.” This is a great confidence. “When asked if he was out of the first innings, he made a mistake in his bowling, he said he probably said he probably said the first day was against Indian salvation. Did not bowl. ‘ Oh yeah, as I said, I think it wasn’t clear that they dared the afternoon of the first day, and it was not clear that they started quickly. We probably gave him a lot of chance to hit him early on the first day, where we got on the back foot long ago. Hely said: “So in the context of the Captaincy side, yes, I still hold it. I mean I only played seven Test matches, so you won’t see many captains who have played very few test matches in men’s matches.” -Ians rr
