Swashbuckling Indian batter Smriti Mandhana on Wednesday became the second opener of her country after Rohit Sharma to reach 2,000 runs in T20I cricket. Mandhana accomplished this landmark in her match against Barbados during the cricket tournament going on at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.

As an opener, Mandhana has scored 2,004 runs in 79 innings at an average of 27.45. She has smashed 14 half-centuries at this position, with the best score of 86.

He has scored four centuries and 22 half-centuries at this position with a best of 118. In CWG 2022 so far, Mandhana has scored 92 runs in three innings at an average of 46.00.

India vs West Indies, 4th T20I: Rishabh Pant, Bowlers Shine As India Beat West Indies To Take Unassailable 3-1 Lead | Cricket News
India advanced their preparation for the next Twenty20 World Cup with a series-clinching 59-run victory over the West Indies in the fourth fixture of a five-match series at the Broward County Stadium in Florida on Saturday. Defending a formidable total of 191 for five in front of fiercely partisan Indian supporters at the United States venue, Rohit Sharma's side dismissed their opponents for 132 off 19.1 overs. India take an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the series ahead of the final match at the same venue on Sunday. Arshdeep Singh led the bowling effort for India, the left-arm medium-pacer continuing to impress with his clever combination of swing and seam to take three for 12, finishing off the match with the wicket of Obed McCoy . For McCoy, who established a new West Indies bowling record in T20Is with figures of six for 17 in the second match in St Kitts last Monday, this was an especially forgettable experience. Despite taking two wickets, the left-arm bowler was belted for … [Read more...] about India vs West Indies, 4th T20I: Rishabh Pant, Bowlers Shine As India Beat West Indies To Take Unassailable 3-1 Lead | Cricket News
India vs West Indies, 5th T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Spinners Star As India Thrash West Indies By 88 Runs | Cricket News
Shreyas Iyer roared back to form with a stroke-filled 64 while the spinners picked up all the 10 wickets as India recorded yet another one-sided 88-run victory over West Indies to wrap up the five-match T20 International series by a comprehensive 4-1 margin here. It was Iyer's half-century and useful contributions from Deepak Hooda (38 off 25 balls) and stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya's (28 off 16 balls) cameo that propelled India to 188 for 7 in 20 overs after being put in to bat. Then, Pandya handed the new ball to Axar Patel (3-1-15-3), who quickly removed makeshift opener Jason Holder (0), Shamarah Brooks (13) and Devon Thomas (10) with three arm balls on a track where balls stopped and gripped off the surface. West Indies were all out for 100 runs inside 16 overs as one of the most lopsided T20I bilateral series came to an end even though India won't be complaining having ticked most of the boxes. Once Kuldeep Yadav (4-1-12-3) caught rival skipper Nicholas Pooran (3) … [Read more...] about India vs West Indies, 5th T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Spinners Star As India Thrash West Indies By 88 Runs | Cricket News

“Happy To Have Found The Touch”: Smriti Mandhana On Her Stunning Form | Commonwealth Games News
Smriti Mandhana may have laid the platform for India's memorable semifinal win against England with her blistering 61 but the stylish opener says it is Sneh Rana's "amazing" death overs bowling that will be remembered for ages. Rana (4-0-28-2) and Deepti Sharma (4-0-18-1) fashioned India's memorable win after Mandhana recorded the fastest half-century in T20 cricket. "In matches like this, roles have to be changed. Deepti's overs in the middle were important. Rana was amazing bowling with only three fielders in the deep. That will be remembered for a long time," Mandhana said after the game. For Mandhana, it was more important to win at any cost, having lost some close games including the 2017 ODI World Cup final. "I was trying to remember the last-ball matches and hoped we would get over the line. We haven't done that well, so more than my fielding, I was hoping to get over the line this time," Mandhana said, when asked about her throw from the deep to run Nat Sciver out. … [Read more...] about “Happy To Have Found The Touch”: Smriti Mandhana On Her Stunning Form | Commonwealth Games News
