(Which reminded me that she (captain) did not take the field for the first time after the bat and that we lost the match because she knew all the bowling plans that she did not share with the vice-captain Harmanpreet because of his serene relationship).
We still wanted to give him an additional opportunity to prove his abilities as the first hitter against Ireland to execute the team strategies of beating with intent but against the Irish bowling attack, she managed to score 50 balls (56 balls, 51 races) and to play 25 points, which added extra pressure and cost us Smriti, the gate and Jemimah's net pbad rate.
