Chasing a below-par 162, India broke little sweat with opener Smriti Mandhana (63) leading the charge in the company of skipper Mithali Raj (47 not out) and Punam Raut (32) to reach the target comfortably.

Mandhana, on Friday, said that Raman has given her targets to bat for a specific number of overs to develop her patience at the crease.
