Harman played a strong innings
The target of 162 runs was in front of the Indian women’s team and the team lost the first two wickets on the score of only 22. After this Harman took the lead and added 96 runs for the third wicket with Jemima Rodrigues (33). Kaur completed her eighth fifty of her career in 34 balls. Seeing her batting, it seemed that she would take a sigh of relief only after winning gold for India, but it could not happen.
Harman was dismissed for 65 runs in 43 balls. He hit 7 fours and two sixes in his innings. This was also his first fifty in this tournament.
