Smriti Mandhana Dismissed Cheaply

A small target gave the India-W openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma a license to take cautious steps forward. The slow approach did not pay any dividends as Smriti Mandhana fell cheaply after scoring just 7 runs. She spent 16 balls to get there, a stat that did not land well among fans.

After getting dismissed, Smriti Mandhana began trending on the social media platform X. Mandhana became a subject of ridicule for failing to score yet again. Here are a few of the many reactions.

Despite Smriti Mandhana's early dismissal, India-W are on the right course to chase the slender total. As per the latest update, India has gone past the 50-run mark in 10 runs and needs another 56 in 60 balls. Richa Ghosh, who struggled initially, has gained some rhythm. She is batting at 24 off 29. On the other end, it is Jemimah Rodrigues, who is ticking the scorecard with singles and doubles. She is batting at 13 after 15 balls.
