Indian players are having the time of their lives in the inaugural season of The Hundred. After a sensational innings from Jemima Rodrigues, Smriti Mandhana went ahead with an unbeaten 61 off 39 balls to guide Southern Brave Women to an eight-wicket win over Welsh Fire Women at Sophia Gardens on Tuesday. Mandhana’s innings included five fours and three sixes.
It was the Braves’ second consecutive win of the season and was set off perfectly by a clinical bowling performance led by 20-year-old Lauren Bell. He took 2 wickets for 19 runs. Chasing the target, Southern Brave had a poor start and they dismissed Danielle Wyatt early when she was dismissed for 9 runs in 12 balls. This initial setback had no effect on the innings as Smriti Mandhana was on top.
The left-handed batsman completed his fifty in just 35 balls. Inspired by this innings, the Braves were able to chase down the target from 16 balls. Her compatriot Jemima Rodrigues leads the batting charts with an unbeaten 92. Mandhana made a comeback after being dismissed for zero in the first match.
Indian batsmen are in excellent form in the current hundred. Rodrigues scored 152 runs in 2 matches. India’s T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur has scored 78 runs in 2 matches. With this innings, Mandhana has given the account of her class and she can well be included in this list.
Mandhana stood till the end and helped the Braves chase down the target. She finished strongly and went on to score two points with successive fours and a six.
