After suffering a four-wicket loss against England in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2022, India skipper Mithali Raj spoke about how the team was bogged down by the lack of partnerships and the bowling unit did not have enough runs on the board to play with. Batting first, Team India was bundled out for 134 and no batter was able to stay at the crease for a long haul.

Young India batter Shafali Verma was dropped from Team India after the game against Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup, but she has found the support and backing of seasoned pro Harmanpreet Kaur. Shafali was not been able to show her aggressive nature with the bat in her last few outings and hence made way for Yastika Bhatia in India's playing XI. However, Harmanpreet on Tuesday said that the young right-handed batter remains an important cog in the side.
India skipper Mithali Raj's descent in the ICC ODI rankings continued as she slipped three places to seventh while opener Smriti Mandhana dropped to 11th in the latest standings issued on Tuesday, taking into account the ongoing World Cup in New Zealand. Raj, who slipped a couple of places last week, has 696 points after she was dismissed for 31 and 5 against New Zealand and West Indies respectively. She is currently joint seventh with Australia opener Rachael Haynes.
Their confidence high after an impressive win over the West Indies, India would look for much-needed consistency with the bat against a struggling England in their fourth league stage match of the ICC Women's World Cup on Wednesday. Currently placed third after a morale-boosting 155-run against the West Indies, India would like to keep the winning momentum going and maintain its stay in the top four especially when they take on table toppers Australia after England.
Currently placed third after a morale-boosting 155-run against the West Indies, India would like to keep the winning momentum going and maintain their stay in the top four especially when they take on table toppers Australia after England. After an inexplicably slow performance against New Zealand when the Indian batters played out 162 dot balls, Smriti Mandhana (123 off 119) and Harmanpreet Kaur (109 off 107) produce a splendid batting display, slamming twin centuries against the West Indies to power India to their highest total (317/8) in the history of the showpiece event. "I think for us, it is very important the way we performed in the last game; we just need to continue that, rather than thinking about what are your negatives and what are your positive points," vice-captain Kaur told reporters on the eve of the game.
Smriti Mandhana (119, 123b, 13x4, 2x6) and Harmanpreet Kaur (109, 107b, 10x4, 2x6) crushed the West Indies by 155 runs in their Women’s ODI World Cup match, at the Seddon Park in Hamilton on Saturday. The strong bond between Mandhana and Harmanpreet, who made batting look effortless during their record 184-run stand in 182 balls for the fourth wicket — the highest partnership for India in a Women’s World Cup game — came to the fore when the champion left-hander, who was announced as the Player of the Match, in a beautiful, laudable gesture, told the commentators that she wanted to share her award with Harmanpreet. “Harman deserved the award equally. The ICC, I believe, has enough budget to give both of us separate trophies,” Mandhana said with a giggle.
Skipper Mithali Raj on Saturday hailed India's "special effort" to comprehensively beat West Indies by 155 runs but wants more consistency in the upcoming games of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup. Coming into the match following a loss against hosts New Zealand, India dished out a splendid allround performance to notch up a dominating win over West Indies and top the points table. "Could not have asked anything better than today's display. Today's win should keep us in the (frame) tournament for the knockouts. Batting and bowling really came out well," Raj said in the post-match presentation.
