Had To Try Hit The Boundary, Rather Than Hitting A Six: Mandhana On Mindset During Super Over
After 40 overs of second women's T20I between India and Australia, both teams had finished on 187 each. For 45,238 people and more cheering for the hosts at the DY Patil Stadium, the nervous pangs were making way for some more nail-biting action.
For a team which had been on the losing side against Australia in close matches in the past, they did well to keep their nerve and make 20/1 in their six balls, and kept Australia five runs short to seal a humdinger of a victory. Left-handed opener Smriti Mandhana was one of the main architects of the Indian win, slamming 79 in the chase, before making 13 off three balls in the Super Over.
