During India's innings, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was left furious at the star batter Harleen Deol after a mix-up when India were trying to take their innings to a colossal score.

It all happened in the 35th over of the innings, which was bowled by Megan Schutt. On the fourth ball of the over, Harmanpreet Kaur mistimed a cut to the cover region and went for a single.

However, Harleen sent her skipper back when she was in the middle of the pitch, and Harmanpreet had to put in a dive to get inside the crease. This made Harmanpreet extremely furious, and she hurled a mouthful at her partner.

Then, on the fifth ball of the over, Harmanpreet smashed a four off Schutt and went on to bash Deol for the mix-up on the previous delivery. Things didn't end there, as after slamming a four on the last ball, she tapped on Harleen Deol's shoulder in a calm manner after shouting at her earlier.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It's about how you bounce back - Harmanpreet Kaur

Earlier, Alyssa Healy won the toss and Australia decided to bowl first in the match. Speaking at the toss, she said that they are pumped up to face a quality Indian team in front of the Vizag crowd. She said:

"We're going to bowl. Got dewy last evening while training. Hopefully can slide on the bat. Just one change. Molineux is back and Wareham misses out. Nice to have Soph back. At some point during World Cups, you just need to get what needs to be done and get the win. But when you come up against a really good opposition like India, you need to put everything together. My first time back in Vizag since 2011. Should be a great atmosphere. Got a bit of Aussie support. Girls are pumped for that."

Meanwhile, the India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur emphasized on bouncing back stronger when the odds are against them and labelled the big crowd's presence as a big boost for the home team. She said:

"Pitch looks better than what we had in the last game. Same XI. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It's about how you bounce back. We were there in the game for 95 overs, lots of positives for us. They've always been important for us. Always been nice, cheering the team day and night. Biggest part in our lives that we're getting this support."
