— Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 27, 2026"The batting unit is itching to go"- Smriti Mandhana on India's batting not yet firing to full potential
Smriti Mandhana pointed out that India’s batting have not fired up to their full potential. There have been some issues with the top order, and especially the middle order has struggled this year, with only Richa Ghosh firing in this tournament so far. They have beaten Australia in the shortest format of the game, and Smriti Mandhana and the side are well prepared for the upcoming game.
"We did well in the T20 format in Australia. We'll take a lot of confidence from that. With the WPL, I feel the girls are also very well prepped in terms of taking the high pressure games a little better than what we could before."
"I feel the gap has definitely narrowed"- Smriti Mandhana points out franchise leagues' importance
"But, yeah, again, I feel the gap has definitely narrowed. With a few of our players playing Big Bash, the experience is being shared and I feel the kind of cricket Indian team has played in the last four, five years - the gap has narrowed down." The 29-year-old also believes she and her opening partner, Shafali Verma, could make a good contribution against the Aussies while opening.
"We had a very quiet series in England. We both were really pumped to get back to giving the good starts for India because, of course, whenever we lay the foundation, more or less, we are in a good place. "So I'm really happy with the way she's striking the ball and I hope that we can switch up our partnership together," she noted.
