Talking about the game, Smriti Mandhana obviously walked away with the Player of the Match award. After the match during the presentation ceremony, Smriti said, “First three matches I got starts but couldn't convert it. So I just wanted to score big today," she says. "Veda insisted on the review, and thanks to her we got 20-30 runs extra. The way we bowled and fielded today was the best of the four games, but batting-wise the performance against New Zealand was better, she further added.
