In recent times, the women of India have shown great character as they have grown by leaps and bounds in international cricket. The Women in Blue produced one of their finest performances of the modern era during the 2017 Women’s World Cup. India women registered a memorable 36-run win over Australia women in the semi-finals of the showpiece event.
The match began with India batting first as the coin went in favor of Indian skipper Mithali Raj. India got off to a poor start in the first innings as Smriti Mandhana lost her first wicket for 6. Mandhana soon followed Poonam Raut in the pavilion. However, what the fans saw on the cricket field after that was a complete carnage.

Harmanpreet added 171 runs in 115 balls with 20 fours and seven sixes.
The right-handed batsman helped score 281 runs on the scoreboard in 42 overs. The semi-finals were reduced to 42 overs per side due to rain. Chasing the target of 282 runs, Australia did not get a good start. The team lost its first wicket early and made 21 for three in 7.2 overs.
