Hoping That Playing Against Smriti And Shafali Brings The Best Out Of Us, Says Lauren Bell
T20 World Cup: Ahead of kickstarting their five-match T20I series against India at Trent Bridge, England seamer Lauren Bell said she is hoping the challenge of bowling to the opening pair of Smriti Mandhana and a returning Shafali Verma should bring out the best in herself and her team.
“I guess I'm looking forward to bowling at Smriti - I've obviously played with her. I know we've had a few net battles at the (Southern) Brave before, so I guess that would be a good challenge to play against her, so that'll be really good. Well, the last time I played India, it's always been Smriti and Shafali opening the batting.”
“So it's a challenge we've obviously had before, and one that is really exciting. They're also both very talented and play differently so I'm hoping it just brings the best out of us and it's one of those challenges, as I said, as an England player, you really look forward to this series and I guess thrive off of the challenge and how good the opposition is,” said Lauren in the pre-match press conference on Friday.
