More Test Exposure Needed To Avoid Collapses In Closing Stages Of Play, Say Smriti Mandhana
India batter Smriti Mandhana, who had slammed a patient 78 in the first innings against the England women's team in the one-off Test here, said her players need more Test exposure to forge a better understanding among themselves in the closing stages of every session.
India, which had got off to a strong start with a 167-run stand between Shafali Verma (96) and Smriti Mandhana (78), lost track late on the second day on Thursday as they lost five wickets for 16 runs to finish the day at 187 for five. The team finally folded up for 231 in the first innings and England enforced the follow-on.
