    3rd ODI: Smriti Mandhana Smashes Fastest Fifty By An Indian Batter In Women’s ODIs

    By IANS News September 20, 2025 • 18:50 PM View: 1078
    Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana registered her name in the record books by smashing the fastest half-century by an Indian batter in women’s ODIs. Smriti reached the milestone in just 23 balls during the ODI series decider against Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.

    On a flat pitch, Smriti showcased her trademark flair and aggression at the top of the order and gave India early momentum in their pursuit of a record target of 413. Smriti began by elegantly punching Kim Garth off the back foot for four, before heaving, driving, and pulling Megan Schutt for a hat-trick of fours.

    Though Australia took out her opening partner Pratika Rawal, Smriti marched forward by dispatching Ashleigh Gardner down the ground for six, before swatting her over mid-wicket for a boundary.
