They aren’t scoring fast in the powerplay anyway so who cares if it takes Harmanpreet a few balls to get in – at least once she’s in she’ll probably stick around. ” – But then, who bats after?

Toploading the line-up and putting them in an unfamiliar position risks exposing the rest of the line-up if both of them fail inside the powerplay
Shree Charani to H Kaur, OUT, And she’s gone! She goes down the pitch and tries to hit it straight down the ground. Holds her shape and has a still head, but just no power on it. The ball died on her. Long on takes a comfortable catch.
H Kaur c Hamilton b Shree Charani 41 (33b 7×4 0x6) SR: 124.24
