Smriti Mandhana Slams Second Fastest Women’s ODI Ton By Indian Batter
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana registered the second-fastest century by an Indian batter in women’s ODIs when she reached the three-figure mark in 77 balls against Australia in the second match of the ongoing series at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
The left-handed opener brought up her 12th ODI hundred with a lofted six over mid-off against Tahlia McGrath and is now only behind her own record of the fastest century by an India women’s batter – coming in 70 balls against Ireland earlier this year in Rajkot.
Eventually, Smriti made 117 off 91 balls, hitting 14 fours and four sixes at a strike-rate of 128.57. Smriti is now level with England’s Tammy Beaumont on the all-time ODI hundreds list, with only New Zealand’s Suzie Bates (13) and former Australia captain Meg Lanning (15) ahead of her. She has also equalled with Suzie for the record for most centuries by an opener (12).
