Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian women’s team, angrily reacted to the seventh drop catch from her fielders against the Australian women during the second ODI of the three-match series. But despite the shocking fielding display at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Team India managed to restrict Australia to 258/8, in their quest to level the ODI series.
After winning the toss, the Australia captain Alyssa Healy decided to bat first, but after a steady start in the first powerplay, she had her stumps flattened by Pooja Vastrakar . Her opening partner Phoebe Litchfield managed to top score for the Australians with 63 off 98 but not before she was dropped by Amanjot Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, and Yastika Bhatia.
During her quickfire fifty at better than a run-a-ball, Ellyse Perry was given a life by Sneh Rana, a tough catch opportunity in her follow-through. The problems in the field continued for India in the latter half of the Australian innings with Smriti Mandhana dropping the second catch of the day, followed by the captain Harmanpreet Kaur herself.

When Deepti Sharma grassed the seventh catching opportunity of the day for India in the field at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Harmanpreet Kaur was none too pleased with what had transpired till that point. Notably, despite a poor day in the field for Indian women, Deepti Sharma picked up a five-wicket haul in her 10-over spell, conceding only 38 runs in the process.
