3rd ODI: 'I Always Back Myself To Be In Zen Mode', Says Smriti On Rich Vein Of Form
Arun Jaitley Stadium: As the crowd swelled towards the evening at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the match was at an interesting position. Australia had wrapped up their innings at 412 and how much India would come close to the mammoth total was of chief interest.
In the past, under scoreboard pressure, India would crumble in chases and be out for a modest total. But on Saturday, the in-form Smriti Mandhana had other ideas and set the tone for a pink jersey wearing India giving a good crack at chasing 413. Every shot coming off her bat in the first ten overs was breath-taking and ruthless in equal measure.
No one was spared – including her long-standing nemesis, off-spin bowling all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner, of whom Smriti plundered 45 runs off just 16 balls. With less than ten days to go for the World Cup, Smriti’s 63-ball 125 on a flat Kotla pitch, was a resounding show of clinical precision meeting unrelenting tempo.
