N Shree Charani’s 10-over spell for 106 runs has rewritten Indian women’s cricket history in the worst way possible during the ODI against Australia at Hobart’s Ninja Stadium. The March 1 encounter saw the left-armer snag two wickets amid the run fest, securing her spot as India’s most expensive bowler in the format—third overall in women’s ODIs.
Deepti Sharma’s 90 off 10 overs placed her second for India, eclipsing Priya Mishra’s earlier 88 against Australia in December 2024.
The all-time list is led by Cara Murray’s infamous 119 for Ireland in 2018, with Shazia Khan’s 111 for Pakistan in 1997 close behind.
Australia’s batswomen dominated after choosing to bat. Alyssa Healy’s emotional 158 off 98 in her last ODI stole the show, complemented by Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 106 off 84. Georgia Wareham’s 62 off 52 and Nicola Carey’s 34 off 15 pushed the score to 409/7.
This high-octane innings not only celebrated Healy’s career but exposed chinks in India’s bowling armor, turning a routine match into a record-shattering spectacle.
