Lord's: Can this match be considered a change? India's girls, who defeated Australia in the semi-finals of the World Cup (ODI World Cup) last year, lost to them, India's exit from the World Cup. The format is just different.

A World Cup of 50 overs, this is 20 overs. All the rest are the same. As a result, boys conquer the world but girls fail.

India had to withdraw from the group stage. Virat Kohli came to watch the game at Lord's today. India's dream was shattered before him.

India captain Harmanpreet won the toss and decided to bat at Lord's. Smriti and Shefali started well. Shefali was out for 34 runs.

Smriti was run out after 38 runs due to a misunderstanding with Jemima Rodriguez. Jemima himself did not get many runs. He scored 34 runs but took 28 balls.

In the last over, Jemaima left the field as a retired heart. But the one who should not be talked about is India captain Harman. Thanks to his innings of 56 runs from 27 balls, India scored 170 runs.

In response, Australia took control of Georgia Vol's wicket in the beginning. Beth Mooney (22) and Phoebe Litchfield (24) built the foundation of the innings, so Australia did not have much problem. Elise Perry scored 56 runs off 38 balls.

Ashley Gardner remained unbeaten on 53 off 29 balls. The bat of these two showed India the way out. Australia won the match with one over remaining.

Sri Charani took two wickets. Several of India's decisions in this match remain questionable. Why Harmon decided to bat first at Lord's wicket?

Did he not know, later this wicket will become easier? Why didn't India put an extra spinner today? So the pressure on Radha Yadav and Deepti Sharma would be less?

These decisions of coach Amal Mujumder paved the way for Australia to fight. Australia reached the semi-finals from the top of the group. South Africa made it to the last four as the second team.

As a result, the Indian women's team was eliminated from the group stage of the World Cup.
