Smriti Mandhana  en route her 41-ball 67. PIC/SURESH KARKERA 

Despite scoring almost half the runs in her team's total, Indian women's vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, blamed herself for yesterday's six-wicket loss to Australia in the opening clash of the T20 tri-series at the Brabourne Stadium. Mandhana's 41-ball 67 saw India post 152-5. However, the Aussies chased down the total easily, with six wickets and 11 balls to spare.
