ICC World T20 2018: Four reasons why India lost to England in the semis

#2 Fielding woes

Taniya Bhatia dropped a tough catch

Chasing a total of just 113, the Indian fielders should have converted all the half chances. But, Poonam Yadav put down a sitter, fielding at square-leg to give Natalie Sciver a chance when she came out to bat. A few balls later, Taniya Bhatia put down a difficult catch to give Sciver yet another reprieve.

Sciver, who was batting on 2 off 3 balls when Poonam dropped her, made the full use of the opportunity she got as she piled on the agony on the Indians by helping England cross the line with ease with a steady 38-ball 52.

Also, there were instances when the batters were allowed to run 2 easily, thanks to the throw from the deep. Instead of throwing the ball on a flatter trajectory, some of them looped it to the keeper/bowler allowing some easy runs.
