Navi Mumbai, Oct 23, 2025

Indian opener Smriti Mandhana continued her sensational run-scoring spree in 2025, scoring a quick-fire century against New Zealand in Match 24 of the Women’s ODI World Cup at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.

Mandhana reached her 14th career century off 88 balls, hammering 10 fours and three sixes, putting up another batting masterclass in a match that India need to win to qualify for the semifinals.

Mandhana, who had scored five centuries and an equal number of half-centuries so far this season, is the first batter in Women’s ODIs to score 1000 or more runs in a calendar year.

On Thursday, she started cautiously before exploding into action with an array of shots all around the ground, blasting the New Zealand bowlers with ease.
