One event that affected the result was Harmanpreet Kaur’s peculiar run out throughout the entire game. In the 15th over of India’s chase, Harmanpreet Kaur sprinted for a single on Georgia Wareham’s delivery. She completed a single, but when she tried to go back for a second, her bat got stuck in the middle, stopping her from going back to the crease. As the Indian captain was out for 52, wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy acted swiftly and took the bails off.
She stormed off unhappy by Harmanpreet’s ejection and walked irately towards the dugout. The other teammates displayed a similar response as everyone was in shock.

Now for the game: Meg Lanning chose to bat in the semifinal, and India’s poor fielding and catching allowed Australia to post a difficult 172 for 4.
India was in danger of losing the match at 28 for three thanks to Harmanpreet (52 off 34) and Jemimah Rodrigues (43 off 24) when they put up a counterattacking 69-run stand off just 41 balls.
India needed to score 39 runs off the final 30 balls with five wickets in hand, which was a doable total. Nevertheless, as in the past, the team fell short and finished at 167 for 8.
