However, the Women in Blue failed to capitalize on their strong position and eventually fell short by four wins. It was India's third defeat in a row in the tournament. While they are still in contention for the semifinals, they just cannot afford more slipups in their remaining matches.
Smriti Mandhana blames herself for India's loss:
"Yeah, for sure. I mean, we collapsed, and everyone saw that. I think our shot selections at that stage could have been better. Especially since it started with me, I take responsibility for that; my shot selection should have been smarter," Mandhana said at the post-match press conference.

Mandhana looked absolutely shattered after the defeat. The cameras caught her struggling to hold back her tears as India threw away a strong position in the match. Speaking further, she pointed out that the team needs to move on quickly from the defeat and focus on the upcoming match against New Zealand.
"It's too soon now that we've had a get-together. But in cricket, nothing comes easy. For sure, the next match would be the virtual quarter-final in terms of getting into the top four. But yeah, you don't play cricket to have easy days. We'll all take this in our stride," said Mandhana.
