Durban, April 19 -- Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues admitted they were short of runs in the opening women's T20I but said the series presents a valuable opportunity for the batting unit, especially the all-rounders, to prepare for the upcoming World Cup. India failed to build sustained momentum and finished with 157/7, a total that South Africa chased down comfortably to seal a six-wicket win on Friday. "I feel, starting off in batting, we were around 15-20 runs short. With the kind of start we got, I think Shafali Verma, the way she batted was great," Rodrigues told reporters. "Then two wickets falling in two overs, but then Harmanpreet Kaur and I getting that partnership back. I think when we had built that momentum and removed the difficult part of it, when time came to capitalise, we were not able to capitalise. "And also, the conditions were a little bit tricky in the first innings. There was slight hold on the wicket. But yeah, definitely we were 15 runs short."...
