Mithali drops anchor; Jhulan’s threewicket haul restricts NZ to belowpar total
Opener Smriti Mandhana led the chase for India with familiar panache after a feisty bowling performance that steered the side to a series-clinching eight-wicket triumph over New Zealand women in the second One-Day International here on Tuesday.
Opting to field, India produced an excellent effort to bowl out New Zealand for a paltry 161 in 44.2 overs be-fore Player-of-the-Match Smriti (90 not out) and skipper Mithali Raj (63 not out) stitched a 151-run unbroken third-wicket stand to guide the team to an easy win.
The duo resurrected the Indian run chase from 15 for two after the early loss of opener Jemimah Rodrigues (0) and Deepti Sharma (8).
"It feels great but I think our bowlers deserved the Player-of-the-Match award more than me. I will give it away to our bowlers, they did a great job to restrict New Zealand on a good wicket," Smriti said at the post-match presentation.
