Guwahati (Assam): Leading India in place of injured Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana looked short of ideas against the World T20 runner-up England in the first game of the three-match series at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Monday. “I was leading the team for the first time and I’ve got a lot of takeaways from it.

As a captain, I’ve to learn from the mistakes I made today else I won’t learn. I won’t be able to improve as a captain,” she said after the match. “We had two sets of plans for each batter if the first wasn’t working we were going to the second plan.

We’ll plan better and I’ll be more pro-active next time,” she added. Chasing the mammoth total, Indian top order was not able to provide a good start as they lost three quick wickets. England at regular intervals kept on taking wickets and India fell like a pack of cards.
