Biggest win, quickest century and more: List of records chronicled by India-W from their rampant win over Ireland
15 Jan, 2025 By Editor

As the Indian women's team put up a performance of the highest order, blowing apart Ireland by a staggering 304 runs in the 3rd WODI at Rajkot, a slew of records were broken along the way.

Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal’s commanding performance with the bat saw India pile on the pressure with every passing ball as the Irish bowlers haplessly watched on. After the batters were done, the bowlers came to the party and skittled out Ireland in just 31.1 overs, adding more accomplishments to a memorable day in Indian women's cricket history.

Here is the list of records that were racked up by Team India.

·      India-W registered their highest-ever total in WODIs (435/5), surpassing the 370/5 they registered in the second WODI only a few days before.

- India's 304-run win is also their largest in WODIs, beating their 249-run win against the same opponent which came back in 2017.

·      India-W struck 57 fours in their innings, which is the third highest in any WODI innings. The record for the most boundaries in an WODI innings is held by New Zealand, who smashed 71 and 59 respectively against Ireland.

·      The 233 runs added by Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal is the third-highest partnership for India across any wicket. All three of the highest partnerships for India in WODIs have come against Ireland.

·      The scoring rate of the opening partnership between Mandhana and Rawal was 8.73. This is the second-fastest in WODI’s amidst all the 32 opening partnerships that crossed the 200-mark.

·      Smriti Mandhana became the fastest Indian centurion in WODIs, racking up her ton in just 70 balls.

·      Pratika Rawal’s 154 is the third-highest individual score for India in WODIs.
