Her exploits with the ball were recognized as she won the Player of the Match award. After receiving the accolade, Sadhu talked about the tradition that has been going withing the team.
"This has been a tradition now that whoever wins this award will have to give a party, since I have won 3 awards tonight (chuckles). I have 3 due. It has been a long series for me, I have been sitting out during Test and ODI series. I am happy to capitalize today. I was lucky I got 2 wickets in the second over and it was a good wicket to bowl on. The dew is a big factor here," Sadhu said after the game.
Coming to the match, Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma played a near-flawless innings as their 137-run opening stand helped India chase down the target with 15 balls to spare at the DY Patil Sports Academy here. With this victory, India went 1-0 up in the three-match series.
