50 over batting has to be looked at: Harmanpreet Kaur
After losing the second ODI, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said that even though the target was too big. We made some partnerships and our thinking was positive. Looking for boundaries in every over. But we fell behind by a few runs. We created chances with the bowling, but unfortunately we couldn’t capitalize on them. In bowling we have to step back and think of plans. We expected a bit more movement but we didn’t get it here. He also batted very well, to his credit. We need to think about our plans and how to bowl well. We also need to bat long and bat the full 50 overs.
