Harmanpreet is fully aware of her duties as captain, and she will make sure that there is no tension in the team during the crucial match against Pakistan.
In both countries, the mood is different when you play against Pakistan. Both countries want their side to triumph. You guys are under a lot of pressure. However, Harmanpreet Kaur stated that it is my duty as a leader to maintain my team’s composure so they don’t feel under pressure to play against Pakistan.
