    Women's World Cup: Mandhana, Rawal Hundreds Power India To Massive 340/3

    Openers Smriti Mandhana: Openers Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal struck contrasting centuries and shared a massive 212-run partnership as India piled on 340/3 against New Zealand in a rain-interrupted 49-overs-a-side match of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.

    While Smriti Mandhana was aggressive in her approach and hammered ten boundaries and three sixes in her 109 off 95 balls, Pratika dropped the anchor and compiled a superb 122 off 134 balls, hitting 13 boundaries and two sixes as India made hay on a pristine, dry pitch that was quite good for batting. Mandhana scored her 14th hundred in ODIs, Rawal compiled her second ODI hundred and first in the World Cup.

    India's much-maligned top order finally came good as Jemimah Rodrigues, brought into the playing XI in place of Amanjot Kaur, built on the foundation laid by Mandhana and Rawal as she scored a blazing half-century to give the innings a final push. The Mumbai batter blazed to fifty off 38 balls. With two overs remaining in the Indian innings, the match was interrupted by a short, sharp spell of rain. The passing drizzle kept the players inside the dugouts for more than an hour, docking one over from each innings and reducing the mid-innings break to 10 minutes.
