Harman was well supported by England star Nat Sciver-Brunt who remained undefeated💮 on 45 off 31 balls, h𒆙itting 6 fours and a maximum.
“Very happy with the performance. The way we are gelling together, I think this is the best tournament so far. Thanks to Nat, she played really well. Because of her I got some time to settle in and later play some shots. The way they were batting, we were a bit tense, but I knew one or two wickets could get momentum back into our favour. We were calculating how many overs were left and which bowlers to target, and that’s what cricket is all about. You gotta express yourself and pick your targets. We just need to keep doing the right things,” sad Harmanpreet after bagging🎉 the Player of the Match award.

Harmanpreet Kaur has scored 393 runs playing the sweep/slog-sweep against spin in T20s since 2020 – the most for any batter.
Kaur averages 65.33 at a S/R of 175 playing the sweep 🗹whereas Nat Sciver-Brunt averages 188ꦆ at a S/R of 196. Best in the business together.
