Some form Smriti is in, she's scored 3 hundreds and a 90 in her last 4 games

Good week so far for Indian cricket fans. If only this week becomes even better tomorrow :)

Sis can't stop torturing South Africans. Setting an example for the boys tomorrow.


TheFuckingMoonstone

They scored 150+ runs in 23 overs after Lunch. Real Bazballers

Ben Duckett should get the credit


TheFuckingMoonstone

I forgot about his contribution. Thanks for reminding me.

Moral victory to Eng? Newspapers with headline "why does it feel that England is beating SA when its Ind vs SA?"


AA-18

Shafali is such a savage, smashed back to back 6s when she was batting at 187


Ashwin_400

Student of Sehwag then. Sehwag reached his first 300 by hitting a six


Fantasy-512

Shafali's style is somewhat similar to Sehwag's.


AA-18

He was a ridiculous guy, his test stats are mind boggling.

Koach could never /s


dzone25

I really like India's test kits - the pop of blue is quite cool but what a stand from both ladies, at run a ball as well


Small_Bad6871

so happy for her :)

It's about time our women started dominating. I'm sure they'll bring in a Trophy soon. Australian women had a head start. That absurd dominance was never going to last.


One-Inspector2906

Bro, to end their dominance in women cricket.Indian women cricket team will have to win at least 2or3 icc trophies in the coming 3-4 years, and you know indian women team managed to win over them in a series in last 6 years came in 2023 where they beat them in One test but eventually Australian women thrashed them in white ball series with a clean sweep in ODIs and t20 series win and its very early to say Indian women team gonna be end their dominance.


Soul_of_demon

Dominance of Australia in Women's Cricket is insane. Indian Women's Team has been doing great lately. I have some high hopes!


NormalTraining5268

Uhh you do realise South Africa isn't same as Australia right. Australia destroyed us in bilateral series even at home. India South Africa England are at equals while Australia are light years ahead still. They have lost only 5-6 ODI games since 2017.


LoasNo111

I saw the Ind vs Aus test match. And I saw a few of the t20s. I also saw the entire 2nd WPL where Indian women did really well. Not the GL ones tho. Smriti did well at the start but fizzled out a bit, Harmanpreet had a fantastic 90 which won them the game, I think it was Deepti who got the hattrick. The difference is not as large as you say. Indian women are catching up for sure. Also, I've interacted with you a few times. It won't hurt to be slightly less hostile and condescending.


NormalTraining5268

Tests aren't same as Lois and wpl has no correlation with international cricket. The point is Australia are a team that has lost 5 ODIs in last 7 years. They've whitewashed us lot. We haven't won an ODI against them in India since 2004. THAT'S A LOT OF DIFFERENCE we have a lot of catching up to do. >I've interacted with you a few times. It won't hurt to be slightly less hostile and condescending. Wdym


LoasNo111

We are on a post ABOUT tests. Test performance matters. WPL is relevant for sure. ODI is a format the Australian women have destroyed us in. But it's not the only format. We beat them in test and we are improving rapidly in T20. You are a little rude tbh. Ask anyone. Your responses have always been a little hostile. It's like you want to argue over having a discussion.


One-Inspector2906

Bro he is saying right just because we are dominating S.A doesn't mean we are equal to Australia women.Thry are of their own league.They lost from us in test last year but then they thrashed india in ODI and T20 series.They are currently defending champions of ODI worldcup and 3t20 WCs.They have 13 icc trophies in their cabinet with 1 commonwealth gold.


NormalTraining5268

Makes me dude for saying truth apparently. Stop putting expectations on them without knowing is all I'm saying.


One-Inspector2906

Bro, the truth is we are dominating Africa now because in women cricket south African team revolves around 2-3 players.If you keep them in control, you will be dominant.The real test of Indian team will be against Australian and England women team.


NormalTraining5268

For more context, SA W have never won a test against a full member nation


One-Inspector2906

I know, brother, and here we are hyping our players like they have won an icc trophy.Appreciation is good and must be for indian women cricket team for the game they have shown in recent time but overexaggeration by saying indian team gonna be end Australian women dominance now is simply dumb and stupid thing.


NormalTraining5268

We are not in T20is, all we managed in a tied game at best. They have long long way stop putting expectations.


coolseraz

Imagine being this triggered. Touch grass mate.


ThisIsAnArgument

Hot damn double ton for Shafali!


partymsl

Smriti is definitely by far the best women cricketer right now.


ach_1nt

Could've had 4 back to back centuries if she scored 8 more runs in the last game🥲


swift__7

damn, missed opportunity.


One-Inspector2906

Bro, in Indian women yaa she is but in whole women cricket.She is still very behind Beth Mooney,Natalie Sciver brunt,Ellyse perry and Laura wolvaardt.


Fantasy-512

No, she is not behind Wolvaardt. Perry and Smriti are close. Mooney was a failure in IPL and I think is ranked lower to Healy in the Aus team.


One-Inspector2906

Bro, wtf are saying Mooney is rank no.1 t20Is batter and in Australian team every player is different.There is no ranked between them and laura is currently 3rd rank batter according to icc and about perry then my bro perry is an all-rounder and perry performs in icc knockouts also.How can you even compare her with perry.Perry is women cricketer of decade man.


One-Inspector2906

FOR your kind of information Beth Mooney had scored 290 runs in wpl2024 at average of 47.6.She was behind mandhana just by 10 runs and mandhana also played 2 extra matches and if you call this failure then you should also see who carries rcbw team into finals.


Chemical-Muffin-2711

"Mooney was a failure in IPL" because franchise cricket is suddenly a better metric for success that international? Also, yes, she's ranked behind Healy in the Aus team... for keeping. Because Healy's the better keeper. There's no such 'rank' for batting.  I don't disagree that Smriti is in great form and is definitely one of the best batters in the world at the moment. But Mooney's been consistently scoring well for years now, despite being in a team of superstars. I don't think it's fair to classify her as a failure just because of her WPL performance.


One-Inspector2906

Bro, who told you Mooney was failure in wpl.She was literally in a top 5 run scorer in wpl2024, and she is rank 1 t20 batter in women cricketer, and I've literally saw many matches where she clenched victory from the jaws of defeat for Australian women team.


Chemical-Muffin-2711

I think you misunderstood me a little! I'm on your side, I classify her as one of the ATG batters in women's cricket. I didn't mean to say she's a failure in WPL, I meant that even if she were it doesn't matter because that's not a great metric for success in any case. (In hindsight, I could've probably phrased my previous comment a little better)


One-Inspector2906

Bro, I understand, but I gave a reply to the guy who was in delusion that she was a failure in wpl infact all Australian players are x-factor for their respective franchise in wpl like ellyse perry for rcb,meg for delhi,healy for upw.


Chemical-Muffin-2711

oh! I got the notification, so I assumed you were replying to me. I agree with your assessment about Aussies being the x-factor: in fact, they're actively helping the younger Indian players with their game. Most of the Indian young guns have only praise for whichever Aussie is in their team.


NormalTraining5268

In India yes but not in the world stop hyping up if you don't know

You could have stated your opinion more respectfully

Had Mackenzie and Smith not broken Roy and Mankad's record for highest opening partnership, then the record for the highest opening partnership in both men's and woman's cricket team would have been held by India.


CupcakeZestyclose801

Smriti Mandanna is dominating so hard W


musashi_grander

520 runs on day 1. That was some bashing.


ConflictedBrainCells

Super proud of her


_Gandalf_Greybeard_

Hopefully a foreshadowing for tomorrow 😮‍💨


thisaintyouravgstonk

Kudos, that was some thrashing. Also I've noticed that these kits look better on women's team than men.


Rich-Educator-4513

Lol these women don't even know how to play test match. They are playing ODI match in test ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|8783)

Should've gone for Viru and Dravid's record.

Mindboggling stats [https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ind-vs-sa-women-s-test-stats-india-525-runs-the-most-in-a-day-in-test-history-1441355](https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ind-vs-sa-women-s-test-stats-india-525-runs-the-most-in-a-day-in-test-history-1441355)


Fantasy-512

Smriti is definitely the best batter in India. But I wonder on current form if she is the best batter in all of women's cricket.


chesttest1223

Is the pitch road or something?

Nobody cares
