Leading Run-Scorer & Key Partnerships

Mandhana’s 2025 dominance is further underscored by the fact that she is currently the leading run-scorer in Women's ODIs this year, with over 1259 runs.

Her 212-run opening partnership with Pratika Rawal (who also scored a century) was the highest opening stand for India in Women’s World Cup history, highlighting the devastating effect of India's top order.

Mandhana, who was named Player of the Match, remarked on the team's semi-final qualification: "It's a big relief. We kept telling ourselves that we have the match-winners to score big runs and take wickets. We understood that when one person is going, the other can just focus on rotating the strike. That really works for us."
