Smriti Mandhana is hitting the spinners quite well, so that is a positive sign. We just try to give a good start to the team which results in a good innings and in the end we are able to put a good score on the board. So, our aim is just to perform well for our team and support our strengths. I think we have got used to the conditions here, maybe that’s why we are able to run well between the wickets. But we just try to take the first run fast, because the field here is very big, it is about 70 meters, if I am not mistaken. So we try to take the first run quickly. Very difficult to hit a six, but keen to take quick singles.
