“The Australian team is in great form and every player is taking responsibility,” Yastika said after the match. He said, “Mag Lanning scored 97 and she came out with these intentions from the beginning. We came very close to victory but had the initial success been successful, the outcome of the match would have been different. He said that despite the great form, the Australian team can be defeated.
“It’s not that they are invincible. We can beat them. We have a very good team and we will do that in the semi-finals or the finals.” Yastika said, “We had a good score but the Australian batsmen started well. Healy and Hans played aggressive innings. We should have picked up wickets in the powerplays which would have put pressure on him but he played really well. India will now have to beat both South Africa and Bangladesh. (agency)
