India's wait for a world title continued as they succumbed to a heartbreaking five-run loss to Australia in the semifinal of the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup on Thursday, where nerves of Aussies prevailed over top knocks from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues.
Kaur had just reached a brilliant half-century to put her team in with a great chance of chasing down their 173-run target to beat defending champions Australia and reach the final.
Australia captain Meg Lanning won the toss and opted to bat first against India in the first semi-final of the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 at Newlands in Cape Town on Thursday
The two gold medals put India on top of the medals tally at the ISSF World Cup for rifle and pistol shooters. Varun Tomar also won the bronze medal in the men's 10m air pistol event on Sunday
