India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur felt that playing too many dot balls in the chase of 173 against Australia in the third T20I at Brabourne Stadium on Wednesday cost her team a victory. 

Despite Harmanpreet stitching together 73 runs in 50 balls with Shafali Verma (52 off 41) for the third wicket, India were unable to avoid a 21-run loss, playing 55 dot balls to give Australia a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
