Harmanpreet Kaur defended decision to not play Mithali Raj
India lost to England by 8 wickets in the Women's World T20 semi-finals
India were bowled out for 112, England gunned down the target with ease
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur defended her decision to not play experienced Mithali Raj in the Women's World T20 semi-finals against England in Antigua on Friday.
Mithali, who suffered a knee injury against Ireland, was rested for India's final group game versus Australia last week.
Mithali was expected to return to the playing XI for the knockout clash against England but the team management decided to field the same team which won against the Aussies.
After opting to bat first, all the Indian batters, barring Smriti Mandhana, struggled as India were bundled out for a below par 112 in 19.3 overs. Mandhana top scored with 34 off 23 balls while Jemimah Rodrigues hit run-a-ball 26.
"Whatever we decided, we decided for the team. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, no regrets. I'm proud of the way my girls played through the tournament. This is a learning curve for us because we are a young team," Harmanpreet said at the post match presentation ceremony.
