Smriti Mandhana’s power in Colombo

Smriti Mandhana stole the spotlight with a breathtaking 116 off just 101 balls. Her innings was a blend of elegance and aggression, featuring 15 boundaries and 2 sixes. She forged two significant partnerships, including a 120-run stand for the second wicket that set the tone early.

With this knock, Mandhana etched her name in the record books, overtaking Harmanpreet Kaur to become the Indian player with the most sixes in Women’s ODIs (54). She also moved to third on the all-time century list with her 11th WODI hundred, surpassing England’s Tammy Beaumont.

India’s middle-order contributions were equally vital. Harleen Deol (47), Jemimah Rodrigues (44), and Harmanpreet Kaur (41) ensured the momentum never dipped. Amanjot Kaur (18 off 12) and Deepti Sharma’s cameo (20*) pushed the score beyond 340.

Amanjot Kaur and Sneh Rana’s dominance with the ball

With the ball, Amanjot Kaur led the charge with a stunning 3-wicket haul, including two key top-order dismissals. Sneh Rana supported brilliantly, picking up 4 wickets for 38 runs and breaking Sri Lanka’s backbone in the middle overs. Sneh Rana ended the series as the highest wicket-taker with 15 wickets in five games.

Sri Lanka’s chase was briefly kept alive by Nilakshi de Silva (48) and captain Chamari Athapaththu (51), but none of the batters could convert their starts into a match-defining innings.

India’s 97-run win underlines their dominance in the format and depth in both departments. The victory, powered by Mandhana’s record-breaking knock, is a statement of intent ahead of the ICC global events to follow.
