Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium: India asserted dominance over Ireland with a massive 116-run victory in the second women's ODI at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Sunday. The hosts took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Jemimah Rodrigues’ (102) maiden international century, alongside half-centuries from Smriti Mandhana (73), Pratika Rawal (67) and Harleen Deol (89) powered India to 370/5, their highest-ever total in the format.

Openers Smriti and Pratika gave India a blistering start with the former scoring at an impressive strike rate of 135.18. The duo stitched up a 150-run partnership before the skipper was dismissed in the 19th over. A short ball outside off saw Smriti try and clear the mid-wicket fielder but ended up being caught by Georgina Dempsey off Orla Prendergast’s bowling.
