Team India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur sustained an injury during the final of the T20I Tri-Series in East London on Thursday, February 2. It raised questions about her fitness just before the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in 2023. Harmanpreet provided an update on her injury and hoped to be fully fit for the marquee event.

India managed to score 109 for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs after opting to bat first, and South Africa chased down the target with two overs to spare. Harmanpreet said the loss did not hurt her much as she feels Team India is playing solid cricket with the Women’s T20 World Cup approaching.
“Just have to enjoy yourself, whatever is the situation, that’s what we’ve been doing. Lot of positives before heading into the World Cup, we’ve come up with good performances except that we didn’t bat well today but the bowling did well. Keep doing the best things in the world up to do well.”
