111 boundaries were struck in this game (99 fours and 12 sixes), another record, surpassing 91 (83 fours and eight sixes) in the aforementioned Bristol, 2017 game.

13 ODI hundreds now for Mandhana, the joint-second most in the Women’s game alongside Suzie Bates, with only Meg Lanning ahead at 15.
4 centuries for Mandhana in ODIs in 2025 is now the joint-most for anyone in a calendar year in Women’s ODIs. She’d got as many last year, while South Africa’s Tazmin Brits too, has four in 2025.
4 – Mandhana also became the first batter to register four consecutive 50-plus scores against Australia Women in ODIs. This was her fourth hundred against the World Champions, the joint-most alongside Nat Sciver-Brunt.
2 instances of an India Women batter registering hundreds in consecutive ODI innings, both to Mandhana. Before this series, she’d got two on the bounce against South Africa in June 2024. Tammy Beaumont is the only other batter with hundreds in consecutive ODI innings multiple times, having done so on three separate occasions.
928 runs for Mandhana in ODIs in 2025 is only behind Belinda Clark’s 970 in 1997 for most runs in a calendar year in Women’s ODIs. The left-hander has struck 23 sixes this year, only behind Lizelle Lee’s 28 in 2017.
23 – Earlier, Mandhana got to her fifty in just 23 balls, making it the joint fourth-fastest in the format, and the fastest for India, surpassing 26 balls taken by Richa Ghosh against New Zealand Women in Queenstown in 2022.
96/2 – India’s score in the first 10 overs is the second-highest in that phase in Women’s ODIs, only behind 156/3 for West Indies against Thailand in Lahore earlier this year (where ball-by-ball data is available).
10.52 – The partnership run-rate for the 121-run stand off 69 balls between Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, the fifth highest for any century stand in Women’s ODI history. It’s the highest for any century stand for India or against Australia in the format, surpassing 10.02 (137 off 82) between Harmanpreet and Deepti Sharma in the 2017 WC semifinal in Derby.
138 by Beth Mooney is the second highest individual score in Women’s ODIs against India, after Claire Taylor’s 156* at Lord’s in 2006. Mooney struck 24 boundaries (23 fours and a six) during her 75-ball stay, the second highest boundary count for Australia Women, after 26 by Alyssa Healy (all fours) during her 170 vs England Women in the 2022 WC final.
