India Vs Australia, 2nd Women's ODI: Smriti Mandhana Hundred Guides IND-W To 102-Run Win

Smriti Mandhana smashed the second-fastest ODI century by an Indian woman as the hosts handed Australia their heaviest defeat — a 102-run thrashing — in the second ODI to level the three-match series 1-1 in Mullanpur on Wednesday (September 17, 2025). Mandhana’s onslaught of 117 off only 91 balls with 14 fours and four sixes in the first half powered India to their highest-ever total of 292, and despite plenty of dropped catches, the hosts recorded a huge win by bowling Australia out for 190 in 40.5 overs. Australia’s chase never found a momentum as India’s sharp bowling and fielding kept them on a tight leash in the first 10 overs from which the visitors managed only 25/2, and it became an uphill task which they could not surmount despite their long batting line-up. The series deciding third and final ODI will be played in New Delhi on September 20.
