Smriti Mandhana becomes second-highest run-scorer in women's cricket

Smriti Mandhana achieved a milestone during India's Women's Asia Cup 2026 fixture against Thailand, moving past New Zealand legend Suzie Bates to become the second-highest run-scorer in women's international cricket.

Mandhana now trails only former Indian captain Mithali Raj, who holds the all-time record for most runs scored by a woman in cricket across all formats.
