Smriti Mandhana Makes History: Consecutive ODI Hundreds and Equals Mithali Raj's Century Tally

Smriti Mandhana made history as the first Indian woman to score two consecutive ODI hundreds during the second ODI against South Africa at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium. After her record-breaking 117 in the previous match, she continued her stellar form, hitting a 103-ball century with 12 fours and two sixes. Mandhana's seventh ODI century also equals Mithali Raj's record. She built strong partnerships with Shafali Verma and Dayalan Hemalatha, later accelerating the score with captain Harmanpreet Kaur, doubling India's total from 100 to 200 in just 17 overs.
