Smriti Mandhana Sets ODI Record Despite India's Series Whitewash in Australia

Mandhana became the first woman to score four ODI centuries in a calendar year, but her efforts couldn't prevent India's 83-run loss in the third ODI and a 0-3 series defeat.

Overview

  • Smriti Mandhana scored 105 runs in the third ODI, marking her fourth century of 2024, a new record for most centuries in a calendar year in women's ODIs.
  • India collapsed from 189/3 to 215 all out, losing their last seven wickets for just 26 runs in their chase of Australia's 299-run target.
