At one stage, I thought we were a little short but in the last over I thought I did the job for us.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>&#8220;But we didn&#8217;t play well. Australia bowled well. Throughout the tournament, we didn&#8217;t play well against good teams. We need to improve against good teams,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Australia captain Sophie Molineux praised Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner after the pair added 100 runs for the fourth wicket to guide Australia to victory.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>&#8220;Those two batted beautifully. The way those two use their smarts, use their skills and target the short boundary and get the little things going, great to see those two get together and put on a big partnership,&#8221; Molineux said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>&#8220;We just had to hang in there as things changed real quick. Pez (Perry) said 170 is very, very gettable and her actions speak louder than words and she was good to go out there and chase it down with Ash,&#8221; she added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/icc-womens-t20-world-cup\/didnt-play-well-against-good-teams-harmanpreet-kaur-minces-no-words-after-t20-world-cup-exit\/articleshow\/132056857.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia&#8217;s Ellyse Perry in action during the Women&#8217;s T20 World Cup match between India and Australia at Lord&#8217;s Cricket Ground, in London, Sunday June 28, 2026.
