India opener and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana continues her great run of form in 2025, after she completed 1000 runs in ODIs in the 2025 calendar year, as India took on the World Cup favourites Australia in Vishakhapatnam on Sunday evening.
Having dramatically lost to South Africa on Thursday, India batted first against the Aussies in a crucial encounter, considering the stiff competition for the top-4 in the table.
Mandhana took the onus upon herself and gave India a brisk start with her fantastic batting and scoring 80 off just 66 with the help of 9 fours and 3 sixes.
