India captain Harmanpreet Kaur described her team's narrow four-run defeat to England as "heartbreaking", admitting that despite dominating large parts of the contest, they once again failed to cross the finish line in Women's World Cup group encounter here on Sunday. With Smriti Mandhana going strong on 88 and India needing just 56 runs off 54 balls and seven wickets in hand, they appeared on course for victory. But England fought back brilliantly to clinch their fourth successive win and confirm a semifinal berth alongside Australia and South Africa. "Smriti's wicket was the turning point for us. It's a heartbreaking moment," Harmanpreet said at the post-match presentation. It was all under control while Mandhana and Harmanpreet were in the middle, but neither could anchor the chase. Earlier Heather Knight's 109 anchored England's total of 288/8 before India finished agonisingly short at 284/6. Left-arm spinner Linsey Smith triggered the collapse, removing the elegant left-hande

India skipper Shubman Gill acknowledged it wasn't easy for his side to come back from the three early setbacks in the first ODI against Australia, saying the team still put up a competitive show by taking the match "pretty deep" against the hosts, here on Sunday. India lost openers Rohit Sharma and Gill, and batting stalwart Virat Kohli in the powerplay overs from which the tourists could never recover as they lost the rain-shortened match by seven wickets. "Never easy, when you lose three wickets in the powerplay, you're always trying to play catch up. There were a lot of learnings and positives as well," said Gill after the match. The grand comeback of stalwarts Kohli (0) and Sharma (8) lasted just 22 balls combined as India were reduced to 25/3 in just the ninth over as Australia made a huge dent early on. But Gill said India made Australia earn their victory. "Defending 130 in 26 odd overs, we took the game pretty deep so we're satisfied with that," added Gill. He said the hu
