A collective batting performance headlined by Jemimah Rodrigues’ maiden hundred formed the cornerstone of India’s commanding 116-run win against Ireland in the second women’s ODI here on Sunday as the hosts took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
India scored a massive 370 for five riding on three half-centuries and a hundred before restricting Ireland to 254 for seven in the stipulated 50 overs. It was the elegant skipper, Smriti Mandhana, who was first off the blocks with an attacking 73 off just 54 balls, while Rodrigues’ first hundred (102 off 91 balls) ensured a smooth finish for the hosts.
