Mandhana breaks international scoring records with historic India century
Smriti Mandhana overtook Mithali Raj to become the leading run-scorer in women's international cricket with 124 against Hong Kong.
Smriti Mandhana walked to the crease in the Women's Asia Cup not knowing she was closing in on a record. By the time she finished, she'd made 124 off 64 balls and passed Mithali Raj as the all-time leading run-scorer in women's international cricket. She also became the first Indian to score two T20I centuries.
India piled up a big total and bowled Hong Kong out for 56, winning by 137 runs and moving into the semi-finals. Mandhana said afterwards she'd had no idea about the milestone while she was batting — she was just trying to add to the team's score.
