Harmanpreet Kaur became India's favorite following her scintillating knock of unbeaten 171 runs off just 115 balls. The girl smashing knock included 20 fours and 7 sixes.
Riding on Kaur's spectacular performance, India sealed a place in final after defeating Australia by 36 runs in 2017 ICC Women's World Cup semi-final at Derby, England.
There was a time when India was struggling to find pace during the game but then something amazing happened. Kaur blasted the ball out of the boundary 27 times which helped India in posting a huge total of 281/4.
The 28-year-old was fighting the pain due to cramps while playing, but she didn't let the pain over-power her. She was struggling to run between the wickets and relied mostly on boundaries. Kaur seems to be on a emotional ride during the game.
Playing at 98 in the 35th over, the
star player got involved in a huge mix-up with Deepti Sharma. Kaur
called for a run following which Sharma was exposed at the
non-striker's end. Both the players survived the call but this mix-up
triggered Kaur's anger, who reacted strongly.
She was seen shouting in anger, which
made Sharma shed a few drops of tear. The duo, obviously, made up
later as they had a mission in hand. The mission was to post a
mountainous score.
India ended up scoring its highest ever
total against Australia.
