Before the start of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, a tension for the Indian team was the form of Smriti Mandhana who was not successful in playing big innings in the last few matches. With the start of the tournament, Mandhana has allayed everyone’s concerns with her performance in the first two matches, in which she scored half-centuries in the matches against Pakistan and Netherlands. At the same time, she has achieved another big achievement in which she has now become the player who has played the most number of fifty plus innings for India in the history of Women’s T20 World Cup, in which Mandhana has left behind Harmanpreet Kaur and Mithali Raj.
Smriti Mandhana played sixth inning of fifty plus runs
In the T20 World Cup match against Netherlands women’s team, Smriti Mandhana along with Shafali Verma made a big partnership of 115 runs for the first wicket. An excellent inning of 74 runs was seen from his bat with the help of 11 fours and one six in 47 balls. In the history of Women’s T20 World Cup, this was the sixth inning of fifty plus runs from Smriti Mandhana’s bat, in which she captured the number-1 position, leaving behind Harmanpreet Kaur and Mithali Raj, in which both of them have played innings of 5-5 fifty plus runs. At the same time, Mandhana is jointly at third place in terms of playing most innings of fifty plus runs in the history of Women’s T20 World Cup. The name of Suzie Bates is at the first position in this list, who has played a total of 8 fifty plus innings in the history of the tournament.

A total of 11 fours were seen from Smriti Mandhana’s bat in the match against Netherlands, due to which she has become the first player in the history of T20 International to hit 600 or more fours in both men and women. Currently, 4475 runs have been seen in Mandhana’s name in 168 T20 International matches at an average of 30.44 in which she has hit 604 fours. After her, the name of Suzie Bates is at second place in the list who has hit a total of 521 fours.
