Smriti Mandhana glided to a gracefully stylish 90, anchoring India\u2019s six-wicket victory in the third and final women\u2019s ODI against South Africa, sealing a 3-0 series whitewash in Bengaluru on Sunday.<\/p>\n
India finished at 220 for four in 40.4 overs, after limiting South Africa to a modest 215 for eight, despite captain Laura Wolvaardt\u2019s staunch 61 from 57 balls, including seven fours.<\/p>\n
Demonstrating skill and determination, India clinched a commanding six-wicket win over South Africa in today\u2019s third women\u2019s ODI at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.<\/p>\n
The game was marked by exceptional performances, including Smriti Mandhana\u2019s masterful 90 runs from 83 balls. Mandhana\u2019s graceful batting, featuring 11 boundaries, nearly earned her a third consecutive century in the series. Supported by Shafali Verma (25), Priya Punia (28), and Harmanpreet Kaur (42 off 48 balls, 2 fours), India comfortably chased down the target of 216.<\/p>\n
South Africa\u2019s choice to bat first ultimately benefited India, as Deepti Sharma\u2019s spellbinding bowling limited them to 215 for eight in 50 overs. Deepti\u2019s impressive figures of 2 for 27 highlighted her tactical prowess on a spinner-friendly pitch.<\/p>\n
Despite losing opener Shafali Verma early, Mandhana partnered effectively with Priya Punia and later Harmanpreet Kaur, who added a vital 42 runs. Their collaboration steered India to a win with 9.2 overs remaining, demonstrating the team\u2019s batting strength and ability to chase targets.<\/p>\n
Laura Wolvaardt\u2019s steady 61 and the lower order\u2019s tenacity for South Africa were insufficient against India\u2019s methodical play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
