India's center request however couldn't profit by the extraordinary beginning and the innings immediately lost energy. Harmanpreet Kaur, engaging structure, was pursued out pushing a ball back to the bowler, Frankie Mackay, who flung the ball rapidly to the attendant to get the hitter short. Whenever Mithali edged an away pleasure seeker from Hannah Rowe, India slipped to 187 for 5. Deepti guaranteed against a breakdown and kept the scoreboard ticking with an ambitious thump of 69* which took India to a solid aggregate yet something like 20 shy of what might have been a triumphant one.
