1st ODI: Skipper Mandhana Scripts History In India-W’s Six-wicket Win Over Ireland-W
Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium: Superb batting by the top order helped India Women defeat Ireland Women by six wickets in the first of three One-day Internationals at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Friday. Pratika Rawal (89) and Tejal Hasabnis (53 not out) combined for a 116-run partnership to take India to 241/4 and help the hosts overhaul the visitors' score of 238/7 in 50 overs and win the match with 93 balls to spare.
It was also a historic night for captain Smriti Mandhana as she became the fastest Indian batter and third-fastest overall to reach the 4,000-run milestone in women’s cricket. Smriti reached the mark in 95 games.
Ireland opted to bat first after winning the toss and openers Sarah Forbes (9) and Gaby Lewis (92) looked to be getting to a solid start before the former fell to Titas Sadhu in the fifth over. There was a good bounce off a length and wide of off-stump for Sadhu, as Forbes went driving at the ball far away from her body which resulted in edging it to slip.
