Smriti Mandhana vs Rohit Sharma - comparing their ODI stats against Australia

Smriti Mandhana hit some form in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 with her 66-ball 80 against Australia at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, October 12. The southpaw had an underwhelming start to the tournament, with three low scores. Even though India Women went down to Australia Women in Visakhapatnam, Mandhana's knock was a big positive for the hosts.

Sent into bat by Australia, India Women put up 330 on the board. Mandhana added 155 for the first wicket with Pratika Rawal (75 off 96). The India Women's vice-captain struck nine fours and three sixes before being dismissed. During the knock, she created history, became the first batter to score 1,000 runs in a calendar year in Women's ODIs.
