Overview

  • Mandhana brought up her hundred with a six off Alana King in the 18th over during India’s chase at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
  • She was dismissed for 125 off 63 balls, striking 17 fours and five sixes in a blistering innings.
  • Australia had earlier posted 412 in 47.5 overs, highlighted by a 57-ball century from Beth Mooney.
  • The knock lowered her own previous fastest century for an Indian in Women’s ODIs from 70 balls and stands as the second-fastest in Women’s ODIs after Meg Lanning’s 45-ball ton in 2012.
  • The effort lifted her to 13 ODI hundreds as an opener, level with Suzie Bates, and tied her personal India mark for centuries in consecutive innings.
