Smriti Mandhana smashed a record 124 off 64 balls as India Women crushed Hong Kong by 137 runs in their Group A clash at the Women's Asia Cup 2026. Hong Kong lost their last five wickets in 11 deliveries, sliding from 54 for 5 to 56 all out.
Mandhana was named Player of the Match. India stayed unchanged from their previous outing, while Hong Kong brought back Natasha Miles as captain after Maryam Bibi missed the opener.
India reach the semi-finals with the second-biggest WT20I win in their history. The spinners mopped up the tail once Mandhana had set a target that was already out of reach.
