In a recent T20I series against Bangladesh, the opening combination of Smriti Mandhana and Shefali Verma played a crucial role in Indiaās victories. They shared a 91-run opening stand in the third T20I, leading India to a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh. This victory helped India claim an unassailable 3-0 lead with two matches left.
Shefali Verma scored 51 off just 38 balls with eight fours, while Smriti Mandhana contributed a 42-ball 47 that included five fours and a six. Their strong partnership and aggressive play helped India race to 59/0 in the first six overs.
Moreover, Mandhana and Verma now hold the record for scoring the most runs in partnership among Indian women in T20Is. Together, they have scored 1152 runs, the most among Indian women in the shortest format.
This performance is particularly significant with the Womenās T20 World Cup scheduled to be held in Bangladesh in September. The strong partnership between Mandhana and Verma at the top of the order should hold India in good stead.
