On the pitch, it's India vs. Australia. It's the elegant opening batter vs. the aggressive all-rounder. It's cold stares, bouncers, and a decade of 'hating' each other in front of the cameras. But behind the stadium lights, the game is completely different.
So, if you're ready for a 'Heated Rivalry' in the world of cricket... please guys, enjoy!"

"Between the Overs"
Two elite cricketers from rival nations-Smriti Mandhana and Ellyse Perry-find themselves repeatedly crossing paths across ICC tournaments, bilateral series, and league circuits, where every match is measured in precision, and every moment in control. But between the overs-where the game briefly loosens its grip-something quieter begins to take shape. Media narratives sharpen comparisons into rivalry, while unspoken insecurities distort perception, turning neutral respect into something far more complicated... and far more difficult to ignore.
That Smile
It was never just the ball. It's the way Ashleigh Gardner finds her. The way she looks at her like it means something. Smriti doesn't believe in overthinking. But some things don't go away. And some smiles aen't as simple as they seem

Bound By Promise
Ellyse Perry has everything-wealth, freedom, and a powerful last name. When her father announces her arranged marriage, she runs all the way to London to escape it. But rebellion doesn't pay the bills. After failure, exhaustion, and one humiliating night at a police station, Ellyse finally gives in and agrees to marry the woman her father has chosen. In India, Smriti Mandhana accepts the same alliance with quiet strength. Disciplined, grounded, and loyal to her family's promises, she knows Ellyse's reputation all too well-a spoiled heiress with a wild life and no sense of responsibility. Their marriage begins with obligation, not love. From sharp sarcasm to subtle care, teasing banter to slow understanding, two very different women are forced into the same life. What starts as duty slowly turns into something deeper. A slow-burn romance filled with teasing, growth, and emotional tension- this is a story about rebellion meeting responsibility, about learning to stand still instead of running, and about finding love in the one place neither of them looked for it. Because sometimes, the marriage you never wanted becomes the life you never knew you needed.Complete

Love feels distant. But deep down, she wonders-what if someone stayed? Sophie Ecclestone Bold. Untouchable. A fire that never lets anyone too close. She uses people like escape routes-quick, easy, forgettable. Feelings? Off-limits. She doesn't believe in love. She believes in control. Their worlds shouldn't collide. But when they do. It won't be quiet. "⚠️ Note: "This story is entirely a work of fiction and is not based on any real-life individual. We kindly ask readers to treat it as such.

One-shots AUs
Just a random collection of one-shots on the women's cricket, cause I keep getting ideas and I have to get them out somewhere, and also a lot of them are inspired by songs and moments that I can't wait to write into a whole long fic. So send requests if you have any, it can be any couple or duo, and also some alternative settings if you want. Few, that I will not write(No hate, just doesn't inspire any inspiration): Radha x Jemi Smriti x Jemi(too sibling-like for me to write anything romantic, but platonic is welcomed.) Harman x Smriti(No hate, just there are so many good stories out there, I might cater to only the ones with fewer fics.)
Claimed Before Love
When Smriti Mandhana was twelve, she was told a truth so absolute it settled into her bones. Ellyse Perry was hers. It was decided over polite smiles and quiet laughter-two powerful families, two prodigies, an arrangement made too early to feel real. Smriti's parents and Ellyse's parents agreed to a future marriage as if they were discussing schools or summer plans. Ellyse laughed it off. She was thirteen, brilliant and careless, too busy chasing cricket and first crushes to take grown-up promises seriously. To her, it was a joke-something to be forgotten the moment the adults left the room. Smriti did not laugh. She listened. She remembered. She claimed. From that day on, the idea rooted itself deep inside her-silent, patient, unyielding. Ellyse was not a choice. Not a possibility. Not a question. She was a certainty. So when Smriti showed up uninvited to Ellyse's dates years later, smiling sweetly as boys fled under her quiet intensity, she wasn't being cruel. She was being consistent. You don't steal what already belongs to someone else. And Smriti Mandhana had never learned how to let go of what was promised to her.Complete

Loved You First~Smriti X Ash.
People always talked about timing like it was something romantic. Like meeting the right person at the wrong time was poetic. Smriti Mandhana thought timing was cruel. Because if timing had been kinder, maybe she would've realized it sooner. Maybe she would've noticed the way Ash looked at her for too long after victories. The way she remembered tiny things nobody else did. The way she stayed. Always stayed. Even when Smriti pushed her away. Even when she laughed things off. Even when she said things she didn't fully understand herself. "I'm straight, Ash." Funny how denial sounds believable when you repeat it enough. The world thought Smriti had everything figured out. A successful career. A perfect relationship. A wedding everyone was waiting for. But sometimes your life can look complete right before it falls apart. And sometimes the person who holds you together afterwards... is the same person you spent years refusing to love back. The worst part? Ash had loved her long before Smriti even understood what love was supposed to feel like. And by the time Smriti finally realized it- Ash was already learning how to let her go.Complete
