The first game at Chester-Le-Street saw the Indian batters coming a cropper against the English bowlers. Sent to bat, India could only manage 132/7 in 20 overs. Deepti Sharma was the only batter to offer some resistance with a 24-ball 29-run knock. But the 20s did not prove to be enough. England steamrolled India with a 60-run opening stand and then a 74-run partnership. Indian bowlers looked hapless.
“We discussed a few things after the first game. We obviously didn’t play the brand of cricket we played over the last few months. We really need to match the standards of what we have achieved in the past. It was a bit disappointing but it was just another bad day,” said opener Smriti Mandhana in pre-match press conference.
Need to improve batting in middle overs: Smriti reiterated what skipper Harmanpreet Kaur had to say after the loss in the first game. She admitted that the team really needs to improve its batting, especially in the middle overs.
“Yes, the conditions were not that good in the first game and there were patches on the outfield too. But, we won’t use it as an excuse. We need to improve our batting between the 12th and 18th over. That is something we haven’t done in the first game,” Smriti said.

She admitted that an insipid approach from the Indian batters resulted in a disappointing performance and the aim is to put the score around 160 to 170 if they are to beat a quality side.
“Given the standard of T20 cricket these days, we have to score somewhere around 160 to 170 to be on the safer side. But that also depends on the nature of the wicket. Post the CWG, I feel it is Harman, Jemimah or my responsibility to take the team through in the 20 overs. But, given it is T20 cricket, we have introduced the likes of Hemalatha and Kiran into the mix,” she added.
