Following a quiet over, Smriti unleashed an onslaught, hitting 5 boundaries in Tuba\u2019s next over, which yielded 21 runs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] India commenced their Women\u2019s Asia Cup title defence with a resounding 7-wicket victory over Pakistan in Dambulla on Friday, July 19.
