NEW DELHI:
Harleen Deol smashed a brilliant century while Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal and Jemimah Rodrigues hit fifties as the hosts posted a commanding 358/5 - their joint highest-ever ODI total. This marked the second instance of India surpassing the 350-run mark in ODIs.
Opting to bat first, openers Mandhana (53) and Rawal (76) laid a strong foundation with a 110-run partnership. A mix-up resulted in Mandhana's run out, bringing Deol on to the crease. Deol paced her innings well, eventually accelerating to score a magnificent 115 off 103 balls. Deol became only the fifth Indian woman after Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Mithali Raj and Punam Raut to score a century since 2018.
Rawal in only her second ODI outing looked fluent but missed out on a century as she was dismissed for 76 by Zaida James.
