Team India opener and left-hand batter Smriti Mandhana on Sunday became the third cricketer in Women's Cricket history to slam the most number of tons in the One Day Internationals. Mandhana achieved this milestone during the ODI tri-series final against Sri Lanka Women, which was played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The southpaw smashed 116 runs off 101 balls, which was laced with 15 boundaries and two maximums in her innings. The 28-year-old player scored these runs at a strike rate of 114.85.
Captain Harmnapreet Kaur is the only Indian player in the 50-player shortlist for the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) Team of the Decade, released on Thursday. The greatest players from across the 10-year history of the WBBL will be honoured this season, with the Big Bash to name an official Team of the Decade. The right-handed Indian batter has played 62 matches for Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades in the WBBL so far. She struck 1440 runs at an average of 37.89 including seven half-centuries.
Wicketkeeper-batter Polly Inglis earned her maiden call-up as recently-crowned Women's T20 World champions New Zealand announced their 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, beginning in Ahmedabad on Thursday. Inglis, 28, was rewarded for consistent performances with both bat and gloves for Otago Sparks in the women's Super Smash and New Zealand A, leading to her first New Zealand Cricket central contract in June. “We're really excited to introduce Polly for her first tour,” Head coach Ben Sawyer said in a statement.
New Zealand scripted history on Sunday as they clinched the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 title. It was New Zealand's maiden T20 World Cup title, men's and women's both. The White Ferns thrashed South Africa by 32 runs in Dubai on Sunday. South Africa, playing their second successive final, sent New Zealand in to bat and the Sophie Devine-led side thrived under pressure to post an above par 158/5. Later, the Proteas were restricted to 126/9 and once again failed to clinch the title.
New Zealand's Amelia Kerr, whose match-winning performance guided the White Ferns to their first T20 Women's World Cup on Sunday, said teammates Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates had so inspired her when she was at school that she wrote stories about winning the trophy with them. The 24-year-old leg-spinner top-scored with 43 in the New Zealand total of 158-5 and then took 3-24 as South Africa fell short by 32 runs.
