Ace India batter Smriti Mandhana on Thursday went past New Zealand’s Suzie Bates to become the batter with the second-most hundreds in women’s ODIs, after she played a brilliant knock against the Kiwis in the league stage encounter of the ongoing Women’s World Cup.
Mandhana is now second on the list of women with the most ODI hundreds, with 14 to her name, only behind former Australia captain Meg Lanning on the list, who retired with 15 ODI hundreds to her name.
This knock also marked Mandhana’s third hundred in Women’s ODI World Cup history, equaling India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s record for the most World Cup centuries by an Indian player.
Building on her brilliant form, Mandhana holds the record for the most sixes smacked by a women’s player in 2025, with 29 maximums to her name, a total which might increase, thanks to her dominant performance in the Women’s World Cup.
This hundred was Mandhana’s fifth of the year, tying her with South Africa’s Tazmin Brits for the most centuries scored in a calendar year, as the latter also notched five hundreds this year.
