MUMBAI: Faced with a stern challenge against a dominant England, Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur seems to be in sync with new head coach Amol Muzumdar on the urgent need to improve the team’s fielding, which seemed well below par during the team’s 38-run defeat in the opening Women’s T20I at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday night.
Seamer Pooja Vastrakar (long on) and debutant off-spinner Shreyanka Patil (caught and bowled) fumbled easy chances to allow England’s Natt Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt to run riot during their 138-run stand for the third wicket, which batted the Indians out of the game.
