Smriti Mandhana scores a century against West Indies
With the poor batting show in the previous game, the onus was on the batters to do well. Led by Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, the team has done well. Especially the opener, who has looked good but was yet to get a big score, was brilliant at the crease.
There was a minor collapse that India had to endure and not crumbling under pressure, Smriti partnered with Harmanpreet to score runs at a healthy rate. In the process, the left-handed batter got to her century. It was the first by an Indian player in this World Cup. She took only 108 balls to get to the feat and her knock was laced with cracking boundaries and some huge hits out of the park

Smriti Mandhana is one cricketer who has been doing well for Team India despite the problems that the squad has faced.
