Why No Mithali: Manjrekar, Harsha React to India’s World T20 Loss
Here’s how Twitterati reacted to India’s World T20 semi-final loss to England in Antigua on Friday.
India crashed out of the ICC women's World T20 after going down to England by 8 wickets in the second semi-final at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium at North Sound on Friday.
In what turned out as a golden opportunity to avenge their ICC 50-over World Cup final loss to England, India were handicapped by a lower order batting collapse that saw them being bundled out for a meagre 112 after opting to bat.
In Saturday's summit clash, Number 2 ranked England will face traditional rivals World Number 1 Australia, who outclassed defending champions and hosts West Indies by 71 runs in the other semi-final of the day.
The Indian team management made a baffling decision at the start of the game to leave out the experienced Mithali Raj in place of allrounder Anuja Patil.
