Women’s ODI series: Mandhana falls for 90 as India sweep SA series 3-0
Hindustan TimesThe only disappointing moment for the M Chinnaswamy Stadium fans came in the 31st over when the prolific Smriti Mandhana, on the verge of a third century in a row, fell for 90 in the final women’s ODI against South Africa in Bengaluru on Sunday. Smriti Mandhana celebrates her fifty during the third women's ODI cricket match between India and South Africa, at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The India vice-captain, in sublime form this series, was out to Khaka Mlaba’s bowling, finishing with a superb series aggregate 343 runs at an average of 114.34. Chasing 325 in the last match, South Africa scored 321, but the visitors were restricted to a modest total after electing to bat first, skipper Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits doing the bulk of the scoring in a 102-run opening partnership.
