“Harmanpreet is fit and ready to play”: Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana

While talking to the media, Smriti told “She (Harmanpreet Kaur) is fine and will be fine for the match also.”

How did Harmanpreet Kaur get hurt?

Harmanpreet had to retire hurt due to neck pain while batting on 29 runs against Pakistan. Due to this injury, his playing in the match against Sri Lanka was a question mark.

However, India are also worried about the fitness of their star all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar, who could not play in the match against Pakistan due to injury.

Mandhana told reports on this matter that Pooja is being monitored by the medical team and there is still no clarity about her availability for the match against Sri Lanka.

Mandhana said, “Pooja, I think the medical team is still working on her. Therefore, the update will come during the match only. But yes, I don’t think I can say anything at this time.”

The match between India and Sri Lanka is very important

Indian women’s team had won against Pakistan by 6 wickets in the last match. Batting first, Pakistan scored 105 runs at the loss of 8 wickets. India chased the target in 18.5 overs. Team India is at fourth position in Group-A points table with 2 points and Sri Lanka is at fifth position. The upcoming match is important for both the teams.
