IND-W vs AUS-W | Twitter in splits as ball-watching Smriti Mandhana pushes Harleen under bus
Communication is an important skill to have when two batters are running between the wickets, since a lack of camaraderie between the two could lead to disaster. The run-out of Harleen Deol was a perfect example of what a moment of miscommunication can lead to.
India Women were put into bat by the Aussies in the second ODI at the New PCA Stadium. Though the wicket seemed slow and low at the start, the openers started to find their feet after the first six overs and put on a solid partnership of 70 before Pratika Rawal was dismissed by Ashleigh Gardner. Despite the dismissal, Smriti Mandhana started to score runs at a quick rate with some explosive hits in the middle, while Harleen Deol played the anchor. There was another great partnership that seemed to be forming before a moment of miscommunication ended the second-wicket stand.
The partnership of 49 off 44 deliveries came to an end in the nineteenth over, where Deol had pushed the ball past the bowler and straight away called for a run. However, Mandhana was caught ball-watching at the other end while Harleen had already run halfway down the wicket. In the end, Alana King, who had made a tremendous stop by running from mid-wicket to the long-on region, threw the ball to Alyssa Healy, who knocked over the stumps, as the batter was caught miles outside her crease.
Terrible mix-up between the top order batters
Run out!

AGAIN WITH THE RUNOUTS. How do India ALWAYS manage to lose a crucial wicket through runout!?

Smriti Mandhana in the first game and Harleen Deol today.
Especially against a side like AUS, you cannot afford to give it away in this fashion.
Yes!
Smriti, who was run out in the last match, turns culprit today and Harleen becomes the victim of yet another brainfade
