Women’s Asia Cup | Twitter reacts to Smriti Mandhana's ‘all is well’ gesture to Shafali Verma after an awful mix-up

Mandhana and Verma had scored 94 runs after 11 overs and India were headed to pile up a huge total. However, there was a bit of miscommunication witnessed between the two batters on the last two deliveries of the 12th over. Fahima Khatun bowled a slightly back off length delivery to Verma and she played it straight to extra cover inside the 30-yard circle. Mandhana was interested in taking a run but Verma denied it, resulting in a dot ball. 

Verma played the next delivery in the same area but this time there was a huge miscommunication in running between the wickets, Mandhana quickly raced toward the strikers’ end to take a single. Verma initially started but was too late to send her partner back to the non-strikers' end. Bangladesh fielders made no mistake in grabbing the simple opportunity of a run-out as Mandhana had no chance to return in time. 

Mixup!

Well played, Smriti Mandhana. Unfortunate she got run-out but she played superbly well, she scored 47 runs from 38 balls including 6 Fours against Sri Lanka in women's Asia Cup. pic.twitter.com/UtBuDCu1rA

Target 200

Need better and professional commentary for women’s cricket. Don’t need commentary like “… a pretty player” for Smriti Mandhana. She is an international cricketer! Comment only on her cricket! @BCCIWomen @WomensCricZone
