Mandhana’s Blazing Century: A New Record in Women’s ODI Cricket

Smriti Mandhana’s remarkable century against Australia in the third ODI has rewritten the record books. She completed her century in just 50 balls, hitting 14 fours and 4 sixes. Although she couldn’t continue her innings for much longer, she scored 125 runs off 63 balls, including 17 fours and 5 sixes, before being dismissed. In the second ODI against Australia, Mandhana had also scored a century, making 117 runs from 91 balls with 14 fours and 4 sixes. This outstanding performance in the third ODI allowed the Indian vice-captain to also surpass Australian batter Beth Mooney in the records.
