Records shattered in India's CWC25 total against Australia
The hosts deliver a run-fest against the defending champions in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
India mounted their second-highest Women’s ODI total against Australia in their much-anticipated ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 encounter.
The 330 put together by the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side, which is the highest total at the ongoing Cricket World Cup, sits only behind the 369 they compiled against Australia last month in Delhi.
The score is now India’s highest in Women’s Cricket World Cup as well as the biggest total put together by a team against the seven-time winners in the tournament.

An exhibition from the Indian batters against Australia during their ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 clash.
After being put in to bat first by Australia, Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal got India off to a rollicking start with the bat.
The duo compiled a 155-run partnership for the opening wicket, both notching half-centuries in the process.
Mandhana marked the occasion by becoming only the second Indian batter to score 5000 Women’s ODI runs.
Breaching past the milestone in her 112th ODI at the age of 29, Mandhana became the quickest and the youngest to do so.

Smriti Mandhana becomes the youngest and the fastest to 5000 runs in Women's ODIs with a mammoth six against Australia in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup.
It wasn’t the only major milestone Mandhana crossed, as the India opener became the first batter to complete 1000 Women’s ODI runs in a calendar year.
The left-hander now boasts an incredible 1062 runs from 18 matches so far this year, which includes four centuries and as many half-centuries.
Mandhana eventually departed at the score of 80, her highest so far at this edition of the tournament, and the highest for India in the outing as they set up the first 300 plus total of this Cricket World Cup.
