It was a passionate victory for the India’s women cricket team as they never let Australia beat them in their own turf (Mumbai) and did not down the 45,000 spectators waiting for a victory to celebrate. Smriti Mandhana scores 79 off 49 balls to help India level the game, she also scores 13 in the Super Over to make the victory more spectacular.
“We haven’t come good in close games against them although we have given them a fight. Close matches are something that the whole Indian team is trying to work on and it started from the Commonwealth Games semi-final. Some matches have started going our way. People are adapting to pressure and we have a lot of match winners,” Mandhana told reporters during the post match interviews.
Alyssa Healy, the Australia’s captain did not let the game easily slip off their hands and in response, she registered 15 off five balls but still wasn’t enough to avoid mustering their agonizing defeat in years for Aussie skipper. Healy recognized the result of the game as she considered it as one of the best games of her cricket career.
“I mean, what a game of cricket that was and what a showcase of fearless cricket that is over here in India and for thousands of people to be able to witness this is pretty special,” Healy said. “I thought we did well to be in that game. India was all over us right throughout that chase. The fact that we hung in there, took it to Super Over, we can be pretty proud of that.”
Candice Warner suffers bullying in front of her kids at cricket
Candice Warner, the wife of David Warner, opens up about the incident of abuse she encounters at the cricket in front of her children. She revealed in a podcast that she was targeted for abuse during the second Test against West Indies.
“Saturday afternoon at Adelaide Oval, just before the lunch break, the girls wanted to see their dad. So we went from one area of Adelaide Oval to the other. It was probably about 200m,” Candice said. “In that time, I had two of my three daughters, my eight-year-old and my three-year-old, we were walking hand-in-hand, and as we’re walking past a huge group of people, it was a group of five or six men who just started throwing vile abuse at me.”
She confronted the group of abusers in front of her kids to shape them into confident and fearless young girls that are not afraid of anyone and to anything abusive. She also said that none of the men apologized, though the other messaged her and expressed his sorry.
