Smriti Mandhana might not yet have fired in this Womens World Cup, but keeping the talismanic Indian opener silent tops the wish list of South Africa, said all-rounder Nadine de Klerk on Wednesday.
Mandhana has a wonderful record in ODIs against South Africa, having scored 906 runs from 18 matches at an average of 53.29 with three hundreds.
Yeah, shes a quality player. Shes done well against us in the past. But I think with conditions being a bit on the slower side, were going to really back ourselves to either keep her quiet or try to put her under pressure and get her early , De Klerk said on the eve of the match against India.
