Our team is great, it’s good to be back on track after two months, that wicket was heaven for the batsmen, who said that?

New Delhi. Reigning captain of the Indian women’s cricket team Smriti Mandhana is elated with the win in the first ODI against New Zealand. Mandhana has described the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as a batsmen’s paradise. He said his team won after a long time thanks to excellent bowling and tight fielding. Earlier this month, India’s Women’s T20 World Cup ended in disappointment as the team failed to reach the semi-finals after a 58-run loss to Sophie Devine-led New Zealand. New Zealand had won the tournament.

However, Devine’s team failed to reach the modest target of 228 runs on Thursday and lost to India by 59 runs in the first match of the ODI series. Mandhana said after the game: “The last one-and-a-half to two months have been difficult, so it feels good to start with a win. “If you don’t believe in cricket, you won’t succeed.

“Saima gave us momentum by taking the wicket of Suji.”
Harmanpreet was rested for this game due to injury. Indian batsmen also lost wickets at regular intervals and were bowled out for 227 runs in 44.3 overs. Mandhana said, “There was a discussion among us that we are doing poorly, but if we perform well, it will be good and we can add 20-30 more runs.” Saima gave us momentum by taking the wicket of Suji has.

“I was very relaxed, the team is great”
Fast bowler Saima took two wickets for 26 runs on her debut. Smriti Mandhana says, “I was very reserved, the team is great.” To be honest, it was a flat wicket. For the batsmen it was heaven. But our bowling group performed well and fortunately the result was in our favor.
