Mandhana paced her knock to perfection
Indian openers Mandhana and Pratika Rawal (30) started on a cautious note, scoring just 14 runs in the first five overs.
However, they upped their ante later on as the scoring rate went up. The duo added 70 runs before Rawal departed.
Mandhana then found another potent partner in Harleen Deol as they added 120 runs for the second wicket.
Notably, Mandhana was particularly aggressive after breaching the 50-run mark.
