New Delhi: While fans are keeping an eye on Indian cricket stars like Virat Kohli Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah who are preparing for the Border-Gavaskar Series in Australia Smriti Mandhana is also in Australia and has already showcased her brilliance before these legends. Smriti Mandhana is playing for Adelaide Strikers in the Womens Big Bash League. The left-handed batter played a fiery knock against Hobart Hurricanes. At the Hobart ground Mandhana scored 51 runs off just 32 balls. Her innings was so explosive that she seemed to hit a flurry of sixes and fours. Mandhana wasted no time and began attacking as soon as she walked to the crease. She made the most of the powerplay hitting a total of 6 fours and 2 sixes. Mandhana brought up her half-century in just 31 balls. She formed a 50-run partnership with opener KT Mac as the duo added 67 runs off 45 balls with 51 of those coming from Mandhanas bat. While KT Mac struggled with her batting Mandhana ensured the teams run rate didn’t dip. However after reaching her half-century Mandhana was dismissed caught by Cloy Tyrone off Lauren Smith’s delivery. Before Mandhana South African batter Lizelle Lee playing for Hobart Hurricanes smashed a brilliant century. Opening the innings Lee faced 59 balls and struck 13 fours and 4 sixes finishing with 103 runs at a strike rate close to 175. Along with Lee Nicola Carey contributed 64 runs off 46 balls. Captain Vilani remained unbeaten on 23. These strong performances helped Hobart post a total of 191 runs in their 20 overs. Mandhana had struggled in her previous two innings scoring just 6 runs in the first match for Strikers and 40 runs in the next signaling her return to form. She now followed up with a spectacular half-century.
