As usual this time also Smriti Mandhana failed in the semi-final match, see how the previous record is

India and Australia women’s teams met on Thursday (February 23). It was the semi-final match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. In this match played in Cape Town, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first in this semi-final and put up a huge score. In reply, India’s top order was bowled out for just 28 runs. Smriti Mandhana was once again dismissed cheaply in the ICC knock-out as usual.

Batting first, the Australian women stormed and scored 172 runs in 20 overs. Australia scored these runs at the loss of four wickets. In reply, a good start was expected from the openers for the Indian team. However, nothing like that could happen. Experienced Smriti Mandhana disappointed the fans in this important match. Smriti lost the wicket after scoring just 2 runs. Meanwhile, this is not the first time Smriti Mandhana has been knocked out cheaply in the knockout stages of an ICC tournament in such a manner. Smriti has scored 6, 0, 34, 11 and 2 on Thursday while playing in the knockout round in this manner.

Shefali Verma, who came to open the innings in this match along with Smriti, was also dismissed for just 9 runs. Smriti scored 5 runs while Shefali played 6 balls. Yastika Bhatia, who came in at number three, also scored 4 runs off 7 balls and lost a wicket. After the top order was dismissed cheaply, the pressure mounted on the middle-order pair of Jemimah Rodriguez and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (). Jemimah and Harmanpree put on 69 runs off 41 balls for the fourth wicket. But just as the innings got under way, Jemimah lost her wicket to Darcie Brown.

Earlier, captain Meg Lanning scored 49 and opener Beth Mooney scored 54 runs for Australia. In addition, Ashley Gardner contributed 31 runs, while Alyssa Haley contributed 25 runs. (As usual this time also Smriti Mandhana failed in the semi-final match, see how the previous record is)
