Haramanpreet Kaur pips Smriti, Mithali to achieve elusive milestone with stunning ton against West Indies
Harmanpreet Kau slammed a brilliant century against West Indies.
Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur slammed centuries apiece as Indian batters tormented the West Indies bowling attack in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2022 on Saturday. After a disappointing show in their last game against New Zealand, the Indian women's team produced an emphatic performance with the bat against West Indies.
After opting to bat first, India got off to a good start as openers Mandhana and Yastika Bhatia (31) added 49 runs for the first wicket. The Women in Blue then lost quick wickets in the middle as the likes of captain Mithali (5) and Deepti Sharma (15) were sent back cheaply with India in a spot of bother.
Mandhana and Harmanpreet then combined to post a mammoth stand of 184 runs for the fourth wicket. While Mandhana slammed 123 runs off 119 balls laced with 13 fours and 2 sixes, Harmanpreet scored 109 runs off 107 balls with the help of ten fours and two sixes.
The duo took the West Indies bowlers to the cleaners throughout their partnership and helped India post a strong total of 317/8 in 50 overs. Harmanpreet also went on to achieve an elusive milestone with her stunning hundred as she surpassed Mithaliand Mandhana in an elite list.
