Harmanpreet Kaur said at the start of the video that today she is with me, ‘Bowler of the Day’… After this Harman asked Smriti a question that what was the biggest moment for her in the match, scoring or taking the century? A wicket? At this Mandhana turned to him and asked the same question. Harmanpreet said that Smriti always wins matches with the bat, but in this match she also did wonders with the ball. Narrating the whole story behind Smriti Mandhana’s bowling, Harman said that Smriti asked her to bowl only one over and in that she would go around the ground with one wicket, however, Smriti got tired after taking half a round.
Smriti then said that she enjoyed the wicket the most and also said that she celebrated Harman’s century more than herself and then said how the entire team celebrated Smriti’s wicket together.
Harman said that being a batting unit, everyone took bowling very seriously and everyone worked hard on bowling in the camp. The team lacked a medium pacer, so Smriti’s two overs made a big difference, feels captain Harman.
