NEW DELHI: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Sunday rued failing to capitalise on loose balls during her 63-run stand with Deepti Sharma for the fourth-wicket, as he side suffered a nine-run loss to Australia in a must-win women's T20 World Cup match here. India's defeat in the Group A match meant that their chances of qualifying for the semifinals will now depend on the outcome of the contest between New Zealand and Pakistan on Monday.
A win for New Zealand will knock India out of the race for the final four. India can, however, make it to the semifinals if Pakistan upset New Zealand.
