Facing a do-or-die battle against New Zealand going into the third ODI, India women are likely to get the much-needed fillip in the form of Smriti Mandhana becoming available for the match in Queenstown on Friday. And 2011 World Cup winner Harbhajan Singh feels it will lend "firepower" to the Indian line-up.
"While checking social media posts, I saw that one of India’s best batters Smriti Mandhana is out of her quarantine and will be available for the third ODI, which is a do-or-die game for Mithali Raj’s girls," Harbhajan wrote in his column for Times of India on Thursday.
