India’s captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, expressed disappointment in her team’s batting performance, admitting they fell short of their target to score over 300 runs in the second ODI against Australia.

Harmanpreet highlighted the need to rectify mistakes and praised the team’s positive aspects despite the loss. She emphasized the importance of consistent performance in international cricket and vowed to address the batting issues in the upcoming final ODI at the same venue.
Australia’s captain, Alyssa Healy, commended her team’s strong showing, particularly praising Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield for their batting prowess. Healy lauded the young players’ contributions, emphasizing their role as future assets for the Australian team’s top order.
Georgia Voll, named Player of the Match for her century, credited her partnership with Phoebe Litchfield for simplifying her batting approach during the chase. She expressed joy in their successful collaboration and highlighted the enjoyment of representing Australia in cricket, aiming to make the most of every opportunity.
