Smriti Mandhana has become the India Women's player with the most runs in a single edition of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup.
After registering a string of low scores, she smashed back-to-back 80s against Australia and England before smashing a brilliant century against New Zealand.
She looked amazing out in the middle while opening the innings with Shafali Verma, and the duo built a 104-run stand. It was the first time in history that an Indian opening pair built a century opening stand in a World Cup knockout game, Men’s and Women’s cricket combined.
Meanwhile, Smriti Mandhana's struggles against left-arm spinners continued as Chloe Tryon dismissed her for 45 runs off 58 balls on the fourth ball of the 18th over. Although Smriti fell short of a fifty, she managed to become the batter with the most runs in a single edition of the Women's World Cup for India.
Most Runs For India Women's In A Single Edition Of A World Cup:
409 - Mithali Raj (2017)
359 - Harmanpreet Kaur (2017)
The World Cup is always special, but a home World Cup is something else altogether - Smriti Mandhana
Speaking on JioHotstar, ahead of the match, Smriti Mandhana said that playing a home World Cup is extremely special and a dream for the players.
"Whatever happened in the past or in the semi-final, give 100% in the final. Everyone has been meticulous with their preparations, whether in the gym or at training. As players, it’s in our hands how we prepare. I know a lot of dreams across India are connected with this final, and we will try our best to make those dreams come true — because fans will live those moments through our eyes,” she added.
"In this World Cup, my only goal was to do whatever the team needed from me. In the past, I came in with personal targets — wanting to score specific runs or achieve certain milestones — but things rarely go exactly as planned. This time, my intention was very clear: to focus on preparation and execution rather than numbers,” said Mandhana.
