It’s the collapse. Again. Shafali Verma smashed 64, setting up a big total… then India lost 8 wickets for just 46 runs. Sound familiar? It should. This isn’t a one-off. It’s a pattern. From the World Cup to series against South Africa and England; India’s middle order keeps throwing away strong starts. Mithali Raj called it out: “We need partnerships in the middle, not just fireworks at the top.” Harmanpreet’s ill-advised sweep? A red flag. The bowlers bailed them out; Deepti Sharma’s 3/0 on her 150th T20I was stellar; but you can’t win big tournaments靠 bowlers alone. Thailand’s lack of firepower masked the problem. But against Australia or England? It’ll cost them. India has the firepower. What they’re missing is grit; the ability to hold the innings together when it matters. This win feels good. But it’s a warning, not a victory lap. Fix the middle, or risk repeating the same story in bigger games.
