Team India were knocked out in yet another ICC tournament despite skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's valiant innings as defending champions Australia entered their seventh successive Women's T20 World Cup final with a five-run win on Thursday. Team India were poor with their fielding and catching that allowed Australia to post a challenging 172 for four after Meg Lanning opted to bat in the semifinal. At 28 for three, India were down and out but Harmanpreet (52 off 34) and Jemimah Rodrigues (43 off 24) produced a counter-attacking 69-run stand off just 41 balls to bring the team back in the game. India had lost to five-time champions Australia in the previous World Cup final and more recently in the CWG final last year.
