ICC Women’s T20 World Cup: Salty and loudmouth Alyssa Healy questions effort of Harmanpreet Kaur
A lot is being talked about a certain game-changing moment that involved Harmanpreet Kaur and Alyssa Healy. Harmanpreet Kaur was taking the game away from the Aussies until her bizarre runout.
Alyssa Healy has opened up on the run-out questioning effort of Harmanpreet Kaur. She said, “Just a bizarre play and I mean Harmanpreet can say all she likes that it was so unlucky, but I mean at the end of the day she cruised back and probably could have been past the crease, you know, an extra two meters if she genuinely put in the effort. So we’ll take it.”
