After the defeat of Mumbai Indians, captain Harmanpreet Kaur said where the mistake happened

The eliminator match of the second season of the Women's Premier League (WPL) ended in a thrilling manner. In this match, Royal Challengers Bangalore team has confirmed its place in the final by defeating defending champion Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians, chasing the target of 136 runs, looked completely dominating the match at one time, but in the last 3 overs, RCB completely turned the match around and won. Now on March 17, they will face Delhi Capitals team in the title match. After not reaching the final, Mumbai Indians team captain Harmanpreet Kaur also looked very disappointed, she described her wicket as the turning point of the match, from where the match completely changed.

We needed just one boundary in the last 2 overs

In the eliminator match, when Mumbai Indians team was chasing the target, at one time they needed only 16 runs from 13 balls and at that time captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Amelia Kerr were at the crease, but soon after that Harmanpreet Kaur was out and Mumbai lost the match. After the defeat, Harmanpreet Kaur said that we needed only one boundary in the last 12 balls but we failed to do so. This is the specialty of the game and it teaches you to play under pressure. After my dismissal, our batsmen came under pressure and this proved to be the biggest turning point of the match.

This season has been full of ups and downs for us.

Regarding the end of the team's journey in the second season, Harmanpreet Kaur also said that this season was full of ups and downs for us. Last season we performed very well as a team, but this season we learned a lot and I hope we will return to the field better prepared next season. This season we got a young player in Sajna Sajeevan who hits the ball very well. Let us tell you that in the second season of WPL, Mumbai Indians won 5 out of 8 league matches and stood second in the points table.
