Admitting that the team is not learning from its past mistakes, India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana today took blame for the six-wicket loss against Australia Women saying she threw her wicket away. Mandhana’s 67, her highest score in T20 internationals, went in vain as India suffered a humiliating six-wicket loss to the Aussies. Giving the example of Mithali Raj, Mandhana said the juniors needed to own up to their mistakes and learn from the ODI skipper and other senior players. Our bowling unit has to step-up and create the pressure which we haven’t done in the ODIs,” Mandhana said. (I) thought Mandhana was taking it to us a fair bit, but those two wickets in the middle there I thought changed the game.
