Rodrigues said, “This team raises a lot of expectations.” And if you look at the average age of the team, it is close to 24.

We are not focusing on the result, we are focusing on the process but things didn’t go our way. ,
He said, “Unfortunately some players got run out. But the lesson is that failure is not failure, it is a learning process. We will learn a lot from this and we promise that we will work hard. Had captain Harmanpreet Kaur not been run out, India’s result could have been different. Rodrigues said, “We were in good rhythm. We dominated. If you look at them, most of the time we were above them in every phase. Just in the last step we messed up. He said, “Harman’s dismissal was unfortunate. I don’t know what to say. It’s like a learning experience. And I promise you that each and every player will work very hard.
