Smriti Mandhana smashed a record-breaking 124 off 64 balls as India posted 193/5 against Hong Kong in their Women’s Asia Cup 2026 match in Dubai. The left-handed opener scored her 18th international hundred, surpassing Australia’s Meg Lanning for most centuries in women’s international cricket. Mandhana also overtook Mithali Raj in India’s all-format run-scoring charts.
Dubai, Sep 3: Smriti Mandhana slayed a hapless Hong Kong bowling attack on way to a record-breaking hundred as India raced to 193 for five in their Women's Asia Cup match here on Thursday.
Mandhana (124 off 64) made up for a sedate start rather quickly and shared a 74-run stand with opening partner Shafali Verma (28 off 17) to set the tone for the innings.
The Hong Kong bowlers made life easier for the batters by offering too many loose balls.
