Smriti Mandhana Makes History As India’s Finest In Women’s ODI Cricket
Smriti Mandhana played a good innings, and won the match for India against Pakistan. India managed to win with 11.4 overs left, on account of Mandhana’s score of 63 not out off 42 balls. She scored 8 fours and 3 sixes in this innings. The left handed batter kicked off the event with a great performance, having eight fours and three sixes and stepped out of her Tuba Hassan ball for her 50th run.
Mandhana succeeded in a huge feat, batting the game close. The game was supposed to be unnecessarily hard, but Mandhana managed to make it enjoyable – a feat that would not have been possible had she not made her shots too powerful for the innings.
Mandhana, a fielder, has now accumulated close to as many runs in T20Is while chasing as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
The Indian batswomen Smriti Mandhana and Shafali were unstoppable, scoring boundaries with ease in the game against Pakistan. The openers, Smriti Mandhana and Jumpa, brought up their 50-run partnership in only 29 balls.
Hassan dismissed Verma for 16 runs in 9 balls and remained undefeated. Sabbhineni Meghana and Muneeba Ali took care of the scoring, but was later bowled out by Omaima Sohail.
The next player for India was Jemimah Rodrigues. India won the match, ending with 102/2 in 11.4 overs. Mandhana (63 not out) and Rodrigues share the game and are undefeated.
Earlier today, Sneh Rana’s performance led to a poor game for Pakistan, scoring only 99 in total. Sneh Rana had two wickets on the pitch during this time, while Radha Yadav also had her fair share of them. Top scorer for Pakistan was Muneeba Ali with 32.
With her63-run knock against Pakistan, Smriti Mandhana has shown that she is a force to be reckoned with. Not only does she have the ability to score runs quickly, but she also knows how to play shots all around the park. This innings will no doubt give her confidence a boost going into the rest of the tournament. With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli being two of her role models, it is clear that Mandhana has what it takes to be one of the best batsmen in the world.
