Mumbai, Feb 25:
Opener Smriti Mandhana’s stylish 63 was complemented by skipper Mithali Raj’s unbeaten 47 as Indian women cruised to a comfortable seven-wicket victory against England to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, here today.
Chasing an easy target of 162, the hosts cantered to the target in 41.1 overs, primarily due to two significant partnerships.
The 73-run stand between Mandhana and Poonam Raut (32 off 65 balls) for the second wicket set the foundation and the 66 runs for the third wicket clinched the issue in favour of ‘Women In Blue’. (PTI)
