Napier: India wins

Mandhana, Rodrigues shine in emphatic win, January 25, 2019: The Times of India

The in-form Smriti Mandhana and teen sensation Jemimah Rodrigues hammered New Zealand’s clueless bowling attack to steer India to an emphatic ninewicket triumph in the opening ODI of a three-match series.

The 22-year-old Mandhana (105) and the 18-year-old Rodrigues (81 not out) put together a batting masterclass after the bowlers did the job for India by dismissing the hosts for 192.

The Indians produced a thoroughly clinical performance to eke out the comfortable victory in 33 overs.

While Mandhana, fresh from winning the ICC women’s cricketer of the year award, slammed her fourth ODI hundred, Rodrigues notched up her maiden international fifty.

Mandhana and Rodrigues stitched together the highest ever opening wicket stand against New Zealand -- a 190-run partnership that stood for 32.2 overs. Rodrigues was making just her fifth appearance in national colours.

Earlier, put in to bat, New Zealand let slip a good start and crumbled in the face of India’s relentless spin combination of Poonam Yadav and Ekta Bisht. Both Bisht and Yadav snared three wickets each.

Yadav, in fact, ripped through the White Ferns’ middle order, claiming the scalps of skipper Amy Satterthwaite

(31), Lauren Down (0) and Amelia Kerr (28) in her quota of 10 overs. This was after Susie Bates (38) and Sophie Devine (28) gave New Zealand a solid start.

But Devine’s run out by Deepti Sharma triggered a collapse and New Zealand folded in 48.4 overs.

Brief Scores: India Women 193 for 1 (Mandhana 105, Rodrigues 81*) beat New Zealand Women 192 (Bates 36, Bisht 3-32, Poonam 3-42, Deepti 2-27) by nine wickets.
