2nd ODI: Smriti, Bowlers Star As India Thrash Australia By 102 Runs, Level Series 1–1
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Smriti Mandhana’s sublime 117, coupled with the six bowling options in hand, played starring roles as India produced a commanding all-round performance to beat Australia by 102 runs and level the three-match series 1–1 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium here on Wednesday.
Asked to bat first, India posted 292 in 49.5 overs, as Smriti slammed 117 off 91 balls – the second fastest ton by an Indian batter in women’s ODIs. It was also her 12th ODI century and third against Australia.
At one stage, a total in excess of 320 looked likely, but Australia’s bowlers, led by Darcie Brown’s 3-42, pulled things back in the final phase. But the total proved more than sufficient as India’s bowlers, led by Kranti Goud’s 3-28, dismantled the visitors with precision and intensity.
