It was a must-win match for India and they gave it their all but couldn't defend the total of 275 and hence are knocked out of the 2022 Women's World Cup. Shafali Verma, Smirti Mandhana and Mithali Raj all scored a half-century. However, even if team India lost, Harmanpreet Kaur was the star of the match, as she gave her best with the bat, ball and also on the field.
