We have good pace bowlers - Smriti Mandhana hopeful of India defending the target

Smriti Mandhana, who scored a valiant ton with the bat, talked about the conditions, saying that there was a lot of seam movement happening. She believes that her pacers will make use of the conditions and they need to bowl in the right areas. She explained:

"You always start from 0. The first 15 overs, a lot of seam movement was happening. Later on, the wicket eased out. Maybe it'll start doing a little bit under the lights. We have good pace bowlers. There are a lot of cracks on the wicket, I am sure even the spinners are gonna get a lot of turn out of it. We just have to go out there, bowl in the right areas and let them make mistakes," she concluded.
