Smriti Mandhana Interview | ENGW vs INDW, 1st T20 post match press conference | Shree Charani

Описание: Smriti Mandhana's Magical Century Powers India to Dominant Win in Nottingham | Post-Match Press Conference Highlights

In a breathtaking performance at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, Smriti Mandhana scripted history by scoring her maiden T20I century — a stunning 112 off 62 balls — as India Women crushed England Women by 97 runs in the 1st T20I. Stepping in as stand-in captain for the ailing Harmanpreet Kaur, Mandhana led from the front with poise, class, and composure.

Post-Match Press Conference Highlights

Smriti, visibly delighted yet grounded, said:

"It’s a team game. The prep has been really good, and the bowlers executed the plans brilliantly.

She hailed her teammates for backing up her innings, especially Richa Ghosh's diving catch and debutant Shree Charani’s remarkable 4/12 which rattled the English batting lineup.

Reflecting on her long-awaited century in the T20I format, Smriti shared a light moment:

“It’s high time you get a century in T20Is. You keep getting out in the 70s and 80s…”
She revealed that this was something teammate Radha Yadav used to tease her about.


Mandhana, who now becomes the first Indian woman to score international centuries in all three formats (Test, ODI & T20I), was praised by fans and cricketing legends worldwide.

Despite the historic win, Smriti maintained a calm focus:

“We have four more matches. We need to keep the momentum going and maintain good habits.”



Match Recap

India posted 210/5, their second-highest total in women’s T20Is, thanks to Mandhana’s ton and a brisk 43 from Harleen Deol. England, in reply, crumbled to 113 all out — their heaviest T20I defeat.

Debutant Shree Charani's 4/12 dismantled England’s middle order, earning her plaudits alongside Mandhana who took home the Player of the Match award.

This victory not only puts India 1-0 up in the series but also sets the tone for what promises to be a thrilling contest in the remaining games.

A Night to Remember

Mandhana’s celebration at the end of the innings, with her bat raised and a proud smile, is already being hailed as one of the iconic moments of women’s cricket in 2025.
