"I think right now she (Harmanpreet) is not fit and I think she is not available for the next game," said Das while replying to an ANI query during a virtual pre-match press conference.

India registered a score of 225/8 in the first ODI owing to Mithali Raj's knock of 61 runs, but none of the other batters were able to stay at the crease for a long time. It was due to Richa Ghosh's cameo that India was able to get over the 220-run mark. (ANI)
