Harmanpreet Kaur injury update: A very worrying news has come out for the Indian cricket team, which performed brilliantly and won its second match in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. Team captain Harmanpreet Kaur suddenly got injured while batting while chasing the target. With India standing on the verge of victory against Fatima Sana’s Pakistan on Sunday at the Bay International Cricket Stadium, Harmanpreet retired hurt and walked out of the field. After this, everyone is waiting for her medical update.
On the fourth ball of the 18th over in India’s run-chase, Harmanpreet lost her balance while trying to play a lofted shot off Nida Dar. She missed the ball completely, following which Muniba Ali Siddiqui also stumbled and could not stump the batsman out. However, after this, Harmanpreet was seen holding her neck, after which she received some treatment from the physiotherapist. The Indian captain walked off the field with the help of the support staff. Sajeevan Sajjana came in and scored the winning runs. Harmanpreet scored 29 runs off 24 balls with the help of a four. She also shared a 24-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Deepti Sharma.

This is how India defeated Pakistan.

India started their campaign on the back of a 58-run loss to Sophie Devine’s New Zealand in Dubai. Chasing a target of 161, India Women were bowled out for 102 in 19 overs. But India recovered to beat Pakistan by six wickets. Arundhati Reddy picked up three wickets to win the Player of the Match award.
Shreyanka Patil took two wickets. While Asha Shobhana, Deepti Sharma, and Renuka Singh Thakur took one wicket each. Chasing their target, India could not maintain their momentum but won with seven balls to spare. Shafali Verma played the role of top scorer for the team by scoring 32 runs in the top order. Jemima Rodrigues could not hit big shots but she added 23 crucial runs. In the end, Harmanpreet’s crucial innings gave India the win.
