Smriti Mandhana, ICC Women’s ODI Cricketer of the Year 2024, is in sensational form and could rewrite multiple records in the upcoming Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025. The stylish Indian opener has already scored 13 ODI centuries, the latest one coming against Australia, and she is climbing the all-time charts. Here’s a detailed look at the records she could break in the upcoming ICC tournament.
Mandhana has 13 ODI centuries, second-highest alongside New Zealand's Suzie Bates. Only Australia's Meg Lanning, with 15 centuries, is above her. In the World Cup 2025, Mandhana has a minimum of seven group games to score three more centuries to break the record and become the highest Women's ODI century-maker ahead of Lanning.
Player | Centuries |
Meg Lanning | 15 |
Smriti Mandhana | 13 |
Suzie Bates | 13 |
Tammy Beaumont | 12 |
Mandhana has registered four ODI centuries in 2025, equaling her 2024 figure and the record of most ODI centuries in a calendar year by a women. With a few World Cup games at home, she may end up with a tally higher than the current one and claim a new record for the most ODI hundreds by a player within one calendar year.
Player | Number of centuries | Year |
Smriti Mandhana | 4 | 2024 |
Tanzim Brits | 4 | 2025 |
Smriti Mandhana | 4 | 2025 |
Belinda Clark | 3 | 1997 |
Meg Lanning | 3 | 2016 |
At 928 runs in ODIs in 2025, Mandhana is inching closer to Belinda Clark's 970-run mark achieved in 1997. If she continues her run in the World Cup, she may become the top run-scorer in a single year in Women's ODIs.
Player | Number of Runs | Year |
Belinda Clark | 970 | 1997 |
Smriti Mandhana | 928 | 2025 |
Mandhana has 4888 runs in ODIs and requires 112 more to achieve 5000. With 20 more innings, she can achieve Stafanie Taylor's record of being the quickest to 5000 ODI runs (129 innings). She can also become the fastest in terms of deliveries faced if she does this in less than 740 deliveries.
Mandhana is only 501 runs away from 10,000 international runs in all formats. Doing so will make her the fourth woman ever to achieve 10,000 runs after Mithali Raj, Suzie Bates, and Charlotte Edwards.
Even though Mandhana did not score a home century prior to 2024, she has three centuries at home in this year. She has one more century to achieve in 2025 to surpass the record and become the first woman to have four home tons in a year.
Mandhana has scored 549 runs in six home innings in 2025. She is 131 runs short of Emily Drumm's record of 679 runs in a calendar year at home. A good World Cup performance may make her record a new high score.
Mandhana has smashed 23 sixes in ODIs in the year 2025, only one behind Lizelle Lee's record of 28 sixes in 2017. With several matches left to play, she stands a good opportunity to register a new record for most sixes in a calendar year in Women's ODIs.
Mandhana's home form with bat in hand will be crucial for India's World Cup 2025 campaign. Her penchant for scoring runs in a hurry and overwhelming bowlers gives her the potential to rewrite record books in multiple sections. Everyone will be keeping their eyes on her every time she steps onto the pitch as India prepares to win the World Cup.
