The Indian innings featured remarkable contributions from the entire top order, with Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, and Harleen Deol all scoring half-centuries. This marked a historic moment in women’s ODIs as India’s top four batters all crossed the fifty-run mark in the same innings for the first time. Mandhana and Rawal laid a solid foundation with a 156-run opening partnership, followed by a substantial 183-run stand between Rodrigues and Deol, who fell just short of her second ODI century, scoring 89.
