With Ghosh doing a single-handed job towards the end of India's chase, the think tank, perhaps, made another mistake by not sending Pooja Vastrakar ahead of Amanjot Kaur as the former had scored a fine 62 not out in the first ODI.바카라 웹사이트

Muzumdar defended the decision saying that the team looked at Amanjot as a proper all-rounder at No 7 and she was expected to do her part well. 바카라 웹사이트

“Amanjot, we play her as a proper all-rounder. Her number was at No 7. We stuck to it, we thought that she got a chance in the XI because we believe that she could do the job,” he said. 바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트

“Unfortunately, it didn't happen. I don't think there was a need for change in the batting order. At that time, we felt that it was an appropriate one,” he added.바카라 웹사이트

“At the end of the day, we can all sit and say ‘oh, (by) three runs! We missed out on three runs!’, but there were about 600 balls bowled in that. We can always go back and talk about it in hindsight. 바카라 웹사이트

“We fell short by three runs but I would not like to name anyone for the defeat. It's just a collective effort. Probably one more shot, or one stop in the field could have done the trick,” he said. 바카라 웹사이트

Muzumdar said the team is looking to stick with Ghosh at No 3 for a longer run. “(She played a) fantastic knock — what a knock it was under pressure. At No 3, new position for her and she's just proven why she's been spoken about so high. 바카라 웹사이트

“Probably, a hundred would have been an appropriate one for her but unfortunately got caught and it was a special knock.바카라 웹사이트

“Richa has been at No 3. We believe that she can be a good top-order player. We believe in her talent and you've seen what kind of shots she can play and if she can use the first 10 overs and then play according to the situation,” Muzumdar said.
