Smriti Mandhana Eyes Historic 1000 ODI Runs in a Calendar Year Record
India is scheduled to play its first match in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, 2025 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on 30 September and this match may see a milestone, never achieved in women ODI cricket before. For that Smriti Mandhana shall have to continue her purple touch with the bat, which she exhibited fully while scoring 300 runs in 3 innings for India against Australia in the recent three match ODI series. Australia Women earned a 2-1 series win but this didn't come easily. Smriti Mandhana was single handedly responsible for this as she scored 58 (63) in the first ODI, 117 (91) in the second and 125 (63) in the third.
She set numerous records during these knocks, but a milestone overlooked by the statisticians is that Smriti Mandhana became only second to score 900+ runs in ODIs in a calendar year. This has taken her very near to a record, never achieved earlier by any woman cricketer. Guwahati ODI may see Smriti Mandhana to be the first cricketer to score 1000 runs in a calendar year in One Day International cricket. She needs only 72 runs more for this coveted record.
