NEW DELHI: Ahead of Thursday's series finale in Navi Mumbai, India's stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana reminded her teammates that the team's five-year wait to win a T20I series at home did not "reflect" their ability.
India produced an impressive batting performance when put in to bat. As the hosts recorded their greatest T20I total of 217/4, Mandhana (77; 47b) laid the groundwork before Richa Ghosh (54; 21b) tied the record for the joint-quickest fifty.
