Mandhana 86: Tahlia McGrath took a three in the second ODI at Mackay as India put the hosts’ 25 ODI winning streak at risk
A graceful 86 by Smriti Mandhana held up India’s good hitting performance in the second ODI against Australia Women, bringing them to 274 of 7. Mandhana received good support from goalkeeper Richa Ghosh, who earned her promotion to No. 5 with 44 braves of 50 balls. This was complemented by a belated thrill from Pooja Vastrakar and Jhulan Goswami as India led to a sizable total.
Mandhana, appointedvice-captain in the absence of the injured Harmanpreet Kaur, held two crucial positions that provided a solid platform for India. She posted 74 in just 11.1 overs with her starting partner Shafali Verma and then 76 in 75 balls alongside Ghosh for the fourth wicket. Mandhana was in sight of a fifth century ODI when she cut. Tahlia McGrath, who returned 90453, back after previously dodging outfield players in the area while playing away from the body.
By then, he had hit 94 balls and put India on a solid footing at 171 of4, with 17.5 overs pending.
Mandhana 86, showed aggressive intentions from the beginning. Shafali was the supporting act in the opening society, but both bullies seemed confident. Mandhana started by taking Ellyse Perry on board in the first over and then incinerating two limits in the next against. Darcie Brown, the player of the match in the first ODI, and set the tone for a boisterous stance.
Verma fell while pushing. Sophie Molineux into the stumps, and her window paused in the process as captain Mithali Raj moved up to third after trotting two or fewer over the last 19 innings.
Raj’s move wasn’t working and, like the first. ODI, he was struggling to convert the punch effectively and absorb the momentum built by the opening games.
Raj was ejected from the race in the. 17th round due to confusion with Mandhana, but India remained slow as Yastika Bhatia also struggled not to put the bat on the ball. After Ghosh’s arrival, the pace picked up, and the 17-year-old made effective use of angle and time to keep the score moving.
The Mandhana window might have been a turning point for tickets, but Ghosh kept India on track. After Mandhana’s downfall. Ghosh Brown smoked two hits in a row, a four and a six, which showed equal parts boldness and equally large hands and eyes.
At the death, Goswami`s free-stroking intended India were given a. 53-run stand in forty seven balls to shut out the innings. Goswami made 28 now no longer out off simply 25 balls, at the same time as Vastrakar changed into bowled for a 37-ball 29 off the very last ball of the innings.
Mandhana’s innings and post nuggets meant that India overall chased. Australia, which has a 25-game winning streak, but without the injured vice captain. Rachael Haynes, who first beat the undefeated 93 ODI.
Neither team has successfully chased these many against India, while Australia has only one successful chase with a higher total. During their record victories, there were 253 who chased them against New Zealand last year.
