India Women Set ODI Records with Historic 435/5 Against Ireland

Smriti Mandhana's fastest ODI century and Pratika Rawal's maiden ton lead India to their highest-ever ODI total and a 304-run victory in Rajkot.

India's women's cricket team posted a record-breaking 435/5, the highest ODI total by any Indian team, men's or women's, during the third ODI against Ireland.
Smriti Mandhana smashed the fastest ODI century by an Indian woman, reaching the milestone in 70 balls, and scored 135 off 80 balls with seven sixes and 12 fours.
Pratika Rawal, in her sixth ODI, scored her maiden century, amassing 154 runs off 129 balls, including 20 fours and one six, as part of a 233-run opening partnership with Mandhana.
India's 304-run victory is their largest margin of victory in ODIs, surpassing their previous record of 249 runs set in 2017, also against Ireland.
The dominant performance completes a 3-0 series sweep over Ireland and serves as a confidence boost for India ahead of hosting the Women's ODI World Cup later this year.
