Watch Super Over-
Mandhana was ‘blank’ before Super over
In the post-match press conference, Mandhana admitted to being blank over approaching the Super Over, which India were featuring in for the first time in T20Is and that her mind opened up when young Richa Ghosh smacked the first ball of Super Over to long-on for six off debutant Heather Graham.
“I have played few Super Overs when I was there in Maharashtra and in little bit of Big Bash, where I had played a few Super Overs. I was pretty blank. I did not think that I would have to do this. When Richa (Ghosh) hit that first six, I was excited and I am not a very out-there person, who people can understand what is going on in my head, but that six was so massive that I was like, ‘wow’!”
Australia have been in tremendous form this year, they also won the Commonwealth Games gold medal in August. India finished second and lifted a silver medal in Birmingham.
