India head coach Amol Muzumdar hailed his team's character despite a crushing defeat to Australia Women in the pink-ball Test, saying the players showed commendable fight in difficult conditions here. India lost the one-off Test by 10 wickets inside three days as only Jemimah Rodrigues and Pratika Rawal could score fifties while other big guns like Smriti Mandhana and skipper Hamanpreet Kaur struggled in bowler friendly conditions at the WACA.
"A bit disappointing with the result, but really happy for the fight that we showed for the last three days. There were tough conditions but credit to Australia, they were brilliant in this Test match," Muzumdar said at the post-match press conference. The Mumbai stalwart lauded the effort of the debutants, highlighting the determination shown by the younger players despite the team ending up on the losing side.
