Mandhana’s Record-Breaking Knock
The skipper Smriti Mandhana warmed the hearts of Indian fans as she broke the record for the fastest ODI century for India woman cricketer. Mandhana chased a Test specialist-like hundred in just 70 balls, which was a record at that time as Harmanpreet Kaur of Bengaluru took 87 balls to score against South Africa. Mandhana played a brilliant knock of 135 off 80 balls with help of 12 fours and seven sixes and at a stunning strike rate of 170.9.
Her masterclass, however, came in a one-sided affair and India were already 2-0 up in the series. Refusing to take the field first, Mandhana destroyed Ireland’s bowlers with ease as she took the game away from her rivals with her style and force.

Partnership Records
Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal created a historic opening partnership, adding 233 runs for the first wicket. This stand became the highest opening partnership by an Indian women’s pair in home ODIs. Pratika Rawal’s solid century complemented Mandhana’s explosive batting, laying a strong foundation for India’s monumental total.
The innings was a testament to teamwork, with contributions from the middle order ensuring that India surpassed their previous best total of 370/5, achieved just three days earlier.
Milestones and Achievements
Mandhana’s innings also marked her entry into an elite group of ODI openers with double-digit centuries. She became the first Indian woman to score 10 ODI tons, joining Australia’s Meg Lanning (15) and New Zealand’s Suzie Bates (13).
Additionally, India Women’s innings featured 57 boundaries, placing them among the top performances for most boundaries in a Women’s ODI innings:
