Indian women’s team to tour Bangladesh for five-match T20I series
The three night games will be played in the main stadium, and the two day games will be held at the outer venue. The night games will start at 6.30pm local time and day games at 2pm.
Elegant Indian batter Smriti Mandhana continued her dream run in the Kia Super League (England’s domestic Women’s T20 league) as she smashed a 60-ball-hundred and powered Western Storms to an easy seven-wicket win over Lancashire Thunder.
Smriti Mandhana scored 102 off 61 balls as Storms chased a target of 154 set by the home team in 18.4 overs. During her innings, Mandhana struck 12 boundaries and four sixes. This was her first T20 hundred in franchise cricket while she has five half-centuries in T20Is.
Interestingly, Smriti’s national team captain Harmanpreet Kaur failed to open her account for Thunders.
