Knock
Match-winning half-century from Harmanpreet
India had a shaky start to the run-chase, with opener Shafali Verma departing early. Although Mandhana and Yastika Bhatia steadied the ship, India lost the latter before the 100-run mark. Harmanpreet then joined forces with Mandhana, as the duo propelled India past 200. It was a one-sided affair thereafter, with the Indian skipper smashing a 63-ball 59* (6 fours).
