Women's World Cup: Smriti, Pratika's Fifties Help India Post 330 V Australia

By IANS News October 12, 2025 • 18:56 PM View: 510

Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal struck superb fifties and raised the highest-ever opening partnership against Australia in the Women's World Cup, as India posted 330 all out at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, on Sunday.

India's 330/10 is the biggest total ever scored against seven-time champions Australia in World Cups, surpassing the 298 by England.

The two openers came good at the right time as India were putting their campaign back on rails after the defeat to South Africa. They cut, drove, and thrashed anything short, laying the foundation for a big score.
