Smriti Mandhana, the star batswoman of the Indian team, etched her
name in the history books on Wednesday Feb 06,2019 when she scored the fastest T20I
half-century by an Indian woman.
Smriti Mandhana reached the 50-run mark off just 24 balls in the first T20I
against New Zealand at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington during India's
run-chase. The left-handed batswoman smashed Kiwi medium-pacer Sophie
Devine out of the field for a six to reach her half-century.
Smriti Mandhana's heroics were not enough for the team as New Zealand won the match easily by a margin of 23 runs after bowling out the visitors for 136 in 19.1 overs.
Smriti's innings finally came to an end after Hannah Rowe caught her off Amelia Kerr's bowling for 58. The 22-year-old Indian opener's innings lasted 34 balls and included seven fours and three sixes.
Smriti is currently joint-second on the list of most 50-plus scores by an Indian woman in T20Is.
Mithali Raj tops the list with 17 scores of 50-plus while Smriti Mandhana and captain Harmanpreet Kaur have seven half-centuries to their credit.
