Kaur even played an appreciable knock of 51 runs from 80 balls in a crisis situation of the final match. However, India ultimately failed
to cross the line.
India lost the match to England by nine runs, which shattered their dream of lifting the maiden World Cup. Capt. Amarinder even announced Rs. five lakh to the cricketer from his soil, Harmanpreet Kaur.
"Best wishes to @ImHarmanpreet & team India, they're doing a great job in the World Cup so far, spoke to her father, also announced Rs 5L" he
said in the first tweet posted yesterday for Kaur.
