ICC Women's World Cup: Drawing inspiration from 2021 tour, Smriti Mandhana says ahead of Australia clash
Women's ODI World Cup match here on Saturday. In the series played last year, India lost 1-2 but ended Australia's 26-match winning streak. India had also famously derailed Australia's chances in the 2017 World Cup by beating them in the semifinals. "Everyone knows what happened in 2017. More than that, we discussed our last tour of Australia. We have done well against them and we almost won the series. That's the brand of cricket we want to play and that has been our motivation," she said at a virtual media interaction ahead of Saturday's fixture. The left-handed batter further said, "the girls are really motivated and everyone is pumped to go and get 2 points on board, knowing the situation of the tournament and how important this match is. The team psychologist has also helped in this regard." On the fitness of key batter Harmanpreet Kaur, Mandhana said "she is fit and available for tomorrow's game." Dwelling further on the 2021 tour of Australia, the India opener said "Definitely we couldn't win the series. The second match also we almost won against them, so it would have been like a series win." About veteran bowler Jhulan Goswami's 200th ODI match, Mandhana said: "It is a proud moment for all of us to be there for Jhulan di's 200th match. She has been motivating us and also all the girls back home."
