Smriti Mandhana etched her name in history, surpassing Mithali Raj’s record for the best-ever ICC Women’s World Cup campaign by an Indian batter. In the final against South Africa at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium, Mandhana played a steady knock of 45 from 58 balls, with eight boundaries.
She gave Shafali Verma the freedom to accelerate at the other end, and the pair put together a 100-run partnership.
Mithali Raj’s exceptional 2017 World Cup performance had set the bar with 409 runs in nine innings at an average of 45.44. She hit a century and three fifties, but fell just short of England’s Tammy Beaumont (410).
Mandhana wrapped up the tournament as India’s top run-scorer, securing the second spot behind South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt, who amassed over 500 runs.
Smriti Mandhana has been magnificent in women’s ODIs in 2025, scoring 1,362 runs from 23 innings, averaging 61.90. She has registered five centuries and fifties.
