Women's Asia Cup Final: Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh Lift India To 165/6 Vs Sri Lanka
Opener Smriti Mandhana: Opener Smriti Mandhana scored 60 and Richa Ghosh struck a late cameo (30 off 14 balls) as India Women came back to post 165/6 in 20 overs against Sri Lanka Women in the final of the Women's Asian Cup here on Sunday.
After skipper Harmanpreet Kaur elected to bat first, the Indian innings got off to a solid start as Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana added 44 runs for the first wicket, laying a strong foundation for a big total. Verma's dismissal came shortly after the end of Power-play as she was trapped lbw by a well-disguised googly from Kavisha Dilhari.
Despite the early setback, Mandhana continued to anchor the innings, taking full advantage of a dropped chance. The Indian vice-captain displayed her class, scoring her 26th T20I half-century. Mandhana's composed knock of 60 off 47 balls provided stability to the Indian innings.
