Internet Desk: Harmanpreet Kaur played a blinder to take India to 281/4 in the second semi final of the ICC Women’s World Cup at Derby on Thursday. It was Kaur’s effort, which changed the course of the match. Kaur plundered the Aussie bowling to remain unbeaten on 171 off 115 balls. Her knock included 20 hits to the fence and 7 huge sixes.
Coming in to bat with the score on 35/2, Harmanpreet first repaired the damage done at the top of the innings by stringing a 66-run stand with skipper Mithali Raj. She then came into her own in the last 10 overs as she dispatched the Australian bowlers all around the park to notch up her third ODI century. Harmanpreet’s strokeplay was of the highest quality as she played shots both on the on and off side of the wicket.
Speaking after her knock Harmanpreet said that she wanted to make the most of the opportunity as she didn’t get a lot of balls to bat earlier in the tournament.
“I was hitting the ball well and wanted to take the responsibility of taking the team to a big total,” Harmanpreet said.
This is how the twitter exploded to see Harmanpreet playing a superlative knock.
