Smriti Mandhana scores 124 off 64 balls against Hong Kong during India’s Women’s Asia Cup match, helping India post 193 for five. The innings includes her 18th international century and comes at a fast strike rate, with India also seeing contributions from Shafali Verma, who hits 28 off 17 and gives the start a strong push.
Across outlets, Mandhana’s performance is linked to multiple all-time milestones. Several reports say she becomes the leading century-maker in women’s internationals by surpassing (or moving ahead of) Meg Lanning’s total of 17 centuries, while others focus on her overtaking Mithali Raj as top international run-scorer in all formats. Yahoo and other reports add that Mandhana reaches 10,880 runs, passing Mithali Raj’s 10,868. Additional coverage also highlights that she equals Mithali Raj’s record for fifty-plus scores before then reaching a T20I century.
Some outlets also emphasize competition-specific records: her 124 is described as a new highest individual score in the Women’s T20 Asia Cup, and a separate thread notes she is close to becoming women’s T20I’s leading run-getter overall, with a chase figure cited around 78 runs versus Suzie Bates.
