Smriti Mandhana, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s very own girl who helped them win the WPL title just a few months ago, was back in action at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday when India took on South Africa in the first ODI of the multi-format series.

The 27-year-old did not disappoint, as she kept on holding the fort in one end after the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side came to bat first. 

Mandhana got to a well-deserved half-century during the 23rd over of South Africa's innings when Nondumiso Shangase came to bowl. She flicked towards the fine leg region to get there, and she completed three runs before raising her bat. The entire dressing room, so the fans at the stadium, gave him a standing ovation.

At this moment, Mandhana is batting alongside Deepti Sharma, who has reached 26* off 36 balls with the help of two fours. India's total stand at 157/5 after 33 overs.

Interestingly, despite chasing team emerge victorious in the previous three ODIs here, Harmanpreet Kaur opted to bat first after winning the toss. The Indian captain could only muster 10 off 11 balls, while the rest also failed to live up to the lofty standards.
