Alyssa Healy on Indian Women’s Team: In the semi-finals of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, the Indian team had to face a thrilling defeat against Australia. In this defeat by just 5 runs, Harmanpreet’s run out was the turning point of the match. She was run out because of her mistake. After the match, Harmanpreet called it her bad luck, although Australian wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy, who ran her out, has told Harmanpreet’s mistake in this matter.
In a video shared on Twitter by ABC Sports, Alyssa Healy is seen saying, ‘It was very strange. I mean Harmanpreet can say all she likes that she was unlucky but I think she could have easily crossed the crease in the last over. This would have happened if she really tried for it.
‘It all depends on the efforts and energy’
Alyssa said, ‘You can call yourself unlucky for this thing for the rest of your life, but it really depended on your effort and your energy in that moment. And I know we talk a lot about our efforts and energy on the field. The running between the wickets was also important here. These are some simple things that win you big tournaments when you are better than the opposition team and I think we have done these things well.
