Smriti Mandhana Calls for Batting Improvement After Early Setback
Meanwhile, the Indian women suffered a defeat against the Australian women by 6 wickets at Allan Border Field, Brisbane. Stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana said it is hard to come back after losing two wickets in the Powerplay, and they did not expect the pitch to play like that.
During the post-match presentation, stand-in captain Mandhana said, “We started with the bat with two wickets down, which is never easy. We did really well in terms of coming back. Wicket didn’t play the way we thought it would.”
Speaking about the next two matches in the series, she said, “We’ve been playing good cricket so it’s not like we’ll change much after one loss. We have to come together as a batting unit and post a good total. But we won’t think about it a lot. Have two days, will reflect on it and come back stronger.”
