Australia vs India: Smriti Mandhana plays down no-ball controversy in india's last-over heartbreak in 2nd ODI

India women tour of Australia: Smriti Mandhana returned to form with a classy 86 but it was not enough to stop Australian women from winning the 2nd ODI and extending their unbeaten run to 26 matches.

India's star opener Smriti Mandhana played down the controversy surrounding the no-ball in the team's final-over heartbreak against Australia in the 2nd ODI of a 3-match series in Mackay on Friday.

With 3 needed from 1 ball, Australia's Nicola Carey hit a full-toss from Jhulan Goswami straight into the hands of the mid-wicket fielder. Even as the umpires were preparing to check for a no-ball, India started celebrating, believing they had ended Australia's 25-match winning run in ODis that dates back to October 2017.
