Star India batter Smriti Mandhana on Friday said the team is seeking to draw motivation from the performance on the 2021 tour of Australia when the two teams clash in a crucial Women’s ODI World Cup match here on Saturday.
In the series played last year, India lost 1-2, but ended Australia’s 26-match winning streak. India had also famously derailed Australia’s chances in the 2017 World Cup by beating them in the semi-finals.
