After her spectacular 91, Smriti Mandhana’s average against England shot up to 53. Given the results in the series, both teams will look to chase. For that matter, Mandhana averages a whopping 60 in the second innings compared to her average of 33 in the first essay.
With 607 runs at 51, Harmanpreet Kaur is the highest run-scorer for India in 2022, including a hundred and 5 fifties. On a slow and sluggish wicket, she played the ball to its merit and remained unbeaten on 74 off 94 in a chase of 228. It shows the kind of mindset and form she has been in of late.
