India crash out of Women’s T20 WC despite Harmanpreet’s heroics

Australia knocked India out of the Women’s T20 World Cup with a comfortable six-wicket win, thanks to a match-winning 100-run partnership between Ellyse Perry (56) and Ashleigh Gardner (53*). Earlier, Harmanpreet Kaur’s explosive 56 off 27 balls helped India post 170/4, but the total proved insufficient as Australia advanced to the semifinals unbeaten.
