Smriti Mandhana, who is widely regarded as one of the best batters in the women’s game, appeared to be in superb touch as the Indian women’s cricket team beat the Australian women’s cricket team in the second Twenty20 international of the five-match series, which took place in Mumbai on Sunday.
The Indian eves nearly conceded defeat in the second match as well after losing the first match by a staggering margin of 9 wickets, which was the margin of defeat in the first match.
In the end, India did a good job of catching up to Australia’s total of 187 runs, which resulted in the game going into a Super Over.
Smriti Mandhana, who had a knock of 79 runs off 49 balls during the encounter, continued her superb form with the bat, which helped drive India to a 20-run total during the one-over eliminator.
In their response, Australia managed to score only 16 runs during the Super Over, and India was able to secure the victory thanks to the bowling of Renuka Singh Thakur.
Mandhana said after the game that the Indian squad has a long way to go before it can master the art of establishing the targets. Additionally, the southpaw referred to the competition as one of the “most fascinating” matches that she had taken part in.
“Chasing I have a feeling that everyone on the Indian squad is having fun. However, we also need to focus on coming up with appropriate sums.
While they were batting, I realised that it was a fantastic wicket, and from that point on, I was anticipating a high score. Didn’t want to repeat the error that had occurred in the previous inning. We are overjoyed to see such wickets prepared for the women’s game of cricket; this bodes well for high scores and high run chases.
I believe that this is one of the most entertaining games that any of us have ever taken part in “During the award ceremony that took place after the game, she stated.
Following India’s victory, the score in the series is currently at 1-1.
