Smart batting from Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana is going after everything in her zone, and she is smarty hitting everything with the wind. Some very easy boundaries for the southpaw now as she moves into the late 80s. A T20I century is here for the taking for Smriti Mandhana.
IND: 140/3 (18)

Mandhana dropped again!
Smriti Mandhana backs away and carves one to sweeper cover with the breeze. Little does not account for the breeze and comes running it to grab it eagerly. The ball is travelling quicker than she expected and all she can do is parry it to the fence.
IND: 126/3 (17)

GOLDEN DUCK, RICHA GHOSH!
Richa Ghosh has been dismissed for the first time in the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup and she has a golden duck against her name. Delany follows up Harman's wicket with a wide, before Ghosh tries to go big with the final delivery of the ball. One hand comes off the bat and she skies it down the ground, where Gaby Lewis picks up a good catch despite the heavy breeze.
IND: 115/3 (16)

HARMANPREET, OUT!
PRENDERGAST - WHAT A CATCH! WHAT A CATCH!
Harmanpreet Kaur goes big on the leg side and seemed to have timed it well but Prendergast runs in, dives forward and plucks one out of nowhere to send the Indian skipper back for just 13. Delany with her second wicket.
IND: 114/2 (15.5)

5 overs left
Smriti Mandhana (61*) is looking dangerous now and she has Harmanpreet Kaur, who has also settled in well and is batting at 12 off 18. How big can India go in the death overs on this slow pitch?
IND: 105/1 (15)

100 up for India
Mandhana pressing the accelerator now. She has realised trying to power everything out of the ground won't work. Steps down and beautifully lofts Dempsey down the ground to bring up the 100 for India.
IND: 100/1 (14.2)

50* for Smriti Mandhana
Mandhana connects the slog sweep this time, and she has connected it well. Sails over the ropes for a six and brings up her half century off 40 deliveries.
IND: 95/1 (14)

MANDHANA DROPPED, AGAIN!
She is living a charmed life today is Smriti Mandhana. Steps down to Murray and looks to slog it to cow-corner. Doesn't connect it at all, but the fielder has to run back and drops it in the end.
IND: 88/1 (13.3)
