When you have good team, you have to perform well: Harmanpreet

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said that her team is bound to perform well because of the quality in the side which was proved during their thumping 48-run win against Australia in the final group league encounter of the ICC Women's World T20.
India were already in semi-finals after winning their first three matches but didn't let the intensity down against the formidable 'Southern Stars' in an inconsequential last group league encounter.
"When you have a good team, you have to perform well," Harmanpreet said at the end of the match on Saturday.
After a below-par fielding performance against Pakistan, Indian women were excellent against Australia.
"I am very happy with the (performance from the) girls. We worked very hard and today, we fielded well. I am proud of the girls. Hope the sort of partnership I had with Smriti (68 in 7 overs) can keep coming."
"First three matches I got starts but couldn't convert it. So I just wanted to score big today," said Mandhana, adding, "Veda insisted on the review, and thanks to her we got 20-30 runs extra."
"The way we bowled and fielded today was the best of the four games, but batting-wise the performance against New Zealand was better."
