    2nd ODI: Smriti Finally Relieved To Have A Century In A Winning Cause Against Australia

    Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: After India romped to an emphatic 102-run win over Australia to level the three-match ODI series 1-1, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, who scored a sublime 117 off 91 balls, expressed relief at getting a century against Australia, finally coming in a winning cause.

    At the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, India registered their first home ODI victory over Australia since 2007 with a comprehensive victory and handed the world champions their heaviest defeat in the format. It's set the stage for the series decider in New Delhi, to be held on Saturday.

    Smriti’s century came off just 77 balls, making it the second-fastest hundred by an Indian woman in ODIs and her third ton against Australia. "The last two hundred runs that I got against Australia were in a losing cause, so I'm happy we won the match today. Game plan was simple -- to make use of the Power-play and then try and build an innings, and if it was in my slot, to go after it,” she said after receiving the Player of the Match award.
