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.

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.
Australia's Annabel Sutherland anchored their innings with 110 runs, supported by half-centuries from Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath, to post 298/6.
Indian pacer Arundhati Reddy delivered a standout performance with career-best figures of 4/26, briefly putting Australia on the back foot at 78/4.
Ashleigh Gardner's all-round performance, including 5/30 with the ball, sealed Australia's 83-run victory and a 3-0 series sweep over India.
