Minnu Mani to Smriti, out Caught by Niki Prasad!! Minnu Mani strikes with her second ball! It is the off-spin that brings about Smriti's down fall. Her kryptonite. Mani stays over the wicket, flights it around leg and invites the big shot, Smriti sits down and slog sweeps to deep square leg. The ball was dying on Niki but she does well to bend down and scoop it inches above the ground. Scratchy knock from Smriti and she's gone right after the timeout. Smriti c Niki Prasad b Minnu Mani 38(34) [4s-6 6s-1]
