Star India opener Smriti Mandhana hailed her side&#39;s bowling unit for getting the job done as they clinched the three-match Women&#39;s T20 International series against Sri Lanka with a five-wicket win in the second match on Saturday.India dished out an impressive bowling display in both spin and pace departments, choking Sri Lanka to a paltry 125/7 after the home side were 87 for no loss inside 14 overs. In reply, India overcame some early hiccups to secure the series-clinching win and take an unassailable 2-0 lead.&quot;They (bowlers) did a really good job today and also in the last match to defend 139,&quot; Mandhana said at the post-match press conference.The Indian bowlers struggled to get a breakthrough early on as the Sri Lankan opening duo of skipper Chamari Athapaththu (43) and Vishmi Gunaratne (45) gave them a solid start.&quot;We didn&#39;t have to tell them much. It was just about following our game plan as a bowling unit and sticking to it. We knew one or two wickets here and there will get us back in the game.&quot;Our bowlers were really patient with it. Definitely, we leaked a few runs with some misfields here and there but I&#39;m sure we will come back stronger.&quot;The Ramesh Powar-coached team has left out the likes of Jhulan Goswami, Shikha Pandey and Sneh Rana, and fielded the likes of Pooja Vastrakar, Renuka Singh, Simran Bahadur and Meghna Singh.The Indian spin attack, on the other hand, had the likes of Deepti Sharma, Poonam Yadav, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Radha Yadav.During her knock of 34-ball 39, Mandhana became the second fastest Indian woman to score 2,000 runs T20I runs. She reached the feat in her 84th innings, becoming the third Indian woman after the legendary Mithali Raj (70 innings) and current skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (88 innings) to cross the mark.Mandhana and her opening partner Shafali Verma got off to a flier and the left-hander said it was about backing their strengths.&quot;Me and Shafali had a game plan going today. We knew which bowlers to target, we know each other&#39;s strengths and weaknesses, it was about our strengths,&quot; she said.&quot;Later on after the power-play, it was more about singles and doubles and not whom to attack as we had only 126 to get. It was about rotating strike and dealing in one and twos.&quot;After the departure of Mandhana, India stuttered in the middle overs but skipper Harmanpreet Kaur anchored the chase with an unbeaten 31 from 32 deliveries.Mandhana said the wicket was difficult to bat on.&quot;It was keeping a bit low, and of course it was on the slower side. So it wasn&#39;t an easy pitch to bat on. You had to really work hard on your runs but once you get used to the pace and bounce of the wicket, runs came in,&quot; she concluded.The final match of the T20I series is slated on Monday, before the three-match ODI series begins at Pallekele on July 1.Powered by <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1" title="Froala Editor">Froala Editor</a>

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur contributed with both bat and ball to steer the Indian women&#39;s cricket team to a series sealing five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the second T20 on Saturday.Vice captain Smriti Mandhana&#39;s (39 off 34 balls) experience complemented by the exuberance of both Shefali Verma (17 off 10 balls) and Sabbhineni Meghana (17 off 10 balls) helped India chase down the 126-run target in 19.1 overs.India stuttered in what should have been a comfortable run chase before Harmanpreet took India home with an unbeaten 31 of 32 balls.Sri Lanka squandered a fine start to post a below par 125 for seven.The third and final T20 will be played on Monday.It was a day to remember for Mandhana who became the second fastest Indian woman to reach 2,000 runs T20 runs.Mandhana reached the feat in her 84th innings, becoming the third Indian woman after the legendary Mithali Raj (70 innings) and current skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (88 innings) to cross the mark.Opting to bat first and with the series on line, it was the duo of captain Chamari Athapaththu (43 off 41 balls) and Vishmi Gunaratne (45 off 50 balls) provided an ideal start for the Lankans by taking the Indian bowlers to the cleaners.The duo also put up Sri Lanka&#39;s best opening stand (87) in T20s to leave the Indians frantically rummaging for breakthroughs.However, as both Athapaththu and Gunaratne departed, it was a sorry state of affairs for Sri Lanka as they lost a slew of wickets, only managing an underwhelming total.Deepti Sharma (2/34 in 4 overs) was certainly the best bowler on view while the likes of Radha Yadav and Pooja Vastrakar also helped India claw back with the ball.Powered by <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1" title="Froala Editor">Froala Editor</a>
