The Indian women’s cricket team scripted history on Thursday, securing their biggest-ever ODI win against Australia by a massive 102-run margin in the second match of the series.
Batting first, India posted a challenging total of 293, powered by opener Smriti Mandhana’s brilliant 117 off 91 balls, anchoring the innings with authority and flair.
In response, Australia struggled to cope with India’s disciplined bowling attack. Kranti Goud was the standout with the ball, taking 3 wickets for just 28 runs in 9.5 overs, while Deepti Sharma chipped in with 2 crucial wickets.
With the series now tied 1-1, attention turns to the decider in Delhi on Saturday, which promises to be an exciting contest.
Riding high on confidence after a record-breaking performance, India will aim to clinch the series ahead of the home World Cup which starts from September 30.
