Women's Internationals (Women's Asia Cup 2024 19 Jul - 28 Jul)

If India won yesterday, than this final could be more special one for women's cricket... Nevertheless, South Africa win the World Cup will bring more exciting days for Women's cricket for sure...
 
Kaur was also sick and by all accounts wasn’t supposed to be playing in this game (was originally ruled out). That she even turned up and took them this close was a miracle and perhaps that did affect her running for that run-out.

The aftermath seems emotionally charged. I saw the highlights and the simple reason is that India are themselves to blame.

If Kaur was sick, as per a variety of reports, shouldn't she have rested? It makes sense to play your best XI in a semi final. Kaur isn't in the category of a Tendulkar that she must play every game. Devika Vaidya would have been the perfect ploy in her absence.

Kaur was also not up to the mark during the entire SA sojourn. The BCCI must look into this and institute some proper rules. If Smriti can be rested in a group game, then Kaur can be rested from a semi.

Furthermore, Kaur is known for flash in a pan performances. There's no consisting her approach. I'd rather India moves on from her and looks to Mandhana as the new leader.
