There is hardly any doubt that Smriti Mandhana is the world’s best batter, notwithstanding the format. She gets runs against the top teams of the world, and is consistent throughout. Similar is the case with the ongoing Women’s World Cup 2025, where she is the second highest run-getter, with 365 to her name, including a 80 vs Australia a few days back.
She has one ton and two fifties to her name for now in the tournament. That said, Smriti Mandhana has an exceptional record vs Australia, and she would have a chance to better it, when India take on the Aussies in the semis, in Navi Mumbai. InsideSport takes a look at Mandhana’s ODI record vs the opposition.
