NEW DELHI: Indian women's cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana delivered a record-breaking performance in the series-deciding third T20I against the West Indies on Thursday, cementing her status as one of the greatest batters in the shortest format. Her explosive knock of 77 runs, combined with Richa Ghosh's whirlwind fifty, propelled India to their highest-ever T20I total of 217/4.
Mandhana's innings was a masterclass in consistency and aggression. With this knock, she achieved multiple milestones, most notably breaking Suzie Bates’ world record for the most 50+ scores in women’s T20Is.
