After a 12-year wait, the Women’s World Cup has returned to India, with the first match of the tournament between the host team India and Sri Lanka. Team India will enter the match in Guwahati on Tuesday, September 30, as a contender for victory. The success of the Indian team in this tournament will largely depend on the performance of the team’s vice-captain and star opener, Smriti Mandhana. If Smriti bats well, then the success of the Indian team is certain, and her records will also be made, and this will start from the first match.
Smriti Mandhana, who has been consistently scoring runs for Team India for nearly a decade in international cricket, has often failed to replicate her performance in tournaments like the World Cup. In such situations, she has also been a victim of criticism. But this time, the left-handed batsman has a chance to end these criticisms, and given the form she is in, all this is possible. Mandhana signaled that she is ready to do wonders in the World Cup by scoring 2 consecutive centuries against Australia in the ODI series.
