Star Indian player and one of the brilliant openers Smriti Mandhana, is almost a step close to achieving a big milestone. She is just 12 runs away from surpassing the Australian legend Belinda Clark for the most runs in a calendar year in the Womens ODI.
However, Smriti Mandhana will have the chance to achieve the milestone on October 9 as Team India will face South Africa in their next ICC Women's World Cup match. In the tournament, Team India remains unbeaten. They defeated Sri Lanka and their arch-rivals in their first two games.
On the other hand, if we talk about their upcoming rivals South Africa, they made a strong comeback after a poor start to the tournament. They were bowled out for just 69 runs in a 10-wicket loss to England, but bounced back impressively with a commanding win over New Zealand.
