Bhubaneswar: With a patient knock of 86, which included 11 boundaries, opener Smriti Mandhana steered India to a competitive 274 for 7 against Australia in the second women’s ODI of the three-match series in Mackay on Friday.
Batting coach Shiv Sunder Das on Thursday had promised a different approach by scoring at least 60 runs during the powerplay to counter Australian bowlers. He had also backed the out-of-form Mandhana’s “ability to get the runs.”
This was her 19th half-century.Mandhana shared two crucial partnerships, 76 runs with Richa Ghosh (44) and 74 runs with Shafali Verma (22) before a catch at the point ended her innings.
It is the highest total scored against Australia since their 25-match winning streak started in 2018.
This is how the Twitterati celebrated her comeback.
