Powered by a blistering Smriti Mandhana hundred and Shree Charani’s debut heroics, India Women defeated England Women in the first of five T20Is, at Trent Bridge on Saturday (June 28).
Here are all the key numbers from the game:
2 – Smriti Mandhana became just the second India batter to register a hundred in Women’s T20Is, after Harmanpreet Kaur (103) did that against New Zealand at Providence during the Women’s T20 World Cup 2018. Mandhana’s 112 is now the highest individual score for India in the format, and the second-best against England after Meg Lanning’s 133* at Chelmsford in 2019.
18 boundaries hit by Mandhana on Saturday (15 fours and three sixes) is the most for India in a single innings, surpassing 15 (seven fours and eight sixes) by Harmanpreet during her aforementioned 103.
5 – Mandhana became the fifth female cricketer to register a hundred in each of the three formats in international cricket, joining Heather Knight, Tammy Beaumont, Laura Wolvaardt and Beth Mooney in an elite list.
8 – Mandhana now has eight fifty-plus scores against England, the joint second-most for a player against an opponent in Women’s T20Is alongside as many for Sophie Devine against South Africa and Beth Mooney against England. Mooney leads this record with nine 50-plus scores against India.
21 – Mandhana and Shafali Verma now have 21 50-plus stands between them, the most for any pair for any wicket in Women’s T20Is, surpassing 20 between Alyssa Healy and Mooney. Mandhana and Verma are just seven runs shy of going ahead of the Healy-Mooney pair’s overall aggregate of 2720.
5 – Mandhana was involved in two 50-plus stands: 71 for the first wicket with Shafali and 94 for the second with Harleen Deol. It was the fifth time that India had 50-plus stands for the first two wickets in a Women’s T20I, and the first such instance for any team against England.
97 runs- The defeat margin for England is their highest in a Women’s T20I by runs, four more than the 93-run defeat against Australia at Chelmsford in 2019. It was also the fourth highest victory margin for India Women in the format. Their previous biggest win against England was by 30 runs at the Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai in 2010.

1 – India became the first full-member team to register back-to-back 200-plus totals in Women’s T20Is, having amassed 217/4 in their previous outing against the West Indies Women at the DY Patil in December 2024. That remains their highest T20I total, followed by 210/5 on Saturday and 201/5 against UAE-Women in the Asia Cup last year.
It was also the third 200-plus total against England, after Australia’s 226/3 (Chelmsford, 2019) and 209/4 (Brabourne, 2018) respectively.
113/1 – India scored 113/1 at 12.55 in Overs 7-15 of their innings, the second-most for any team in that phase in a Women’s T20I featuring a full-member side, after West Indies’ 115/0 against Australia at the North Sydney Oval in 2023 (where data is available). India’s 111/1 against Malaysia Women at Hangzhou 2023 is third on this list.
178 – Mandhana (112) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (66) totalled 178 runs between them, making it the the second-highest aggregate for the two captains in a Women’s T20I featuring at least one full-member side, after 182 (Suzie Bates – 124*, Dane van Niekerk – 58) in the NZ-W vs SA-W contest at Taunton in 2018.
13.12 – England spinners returned 1/105 in eight overs at an economy rate of 13.12, the worst ever in an innings featuring at least six overs of spin. On the contrary, India spinners bagged 8/72 in 10.5 overs between them at an economy of 6.64.
4/12 – Shree Charani became the second Indian bowler to bag a four-fer on Women’s T20I debut, after Sravanthi Naidu had done so (4/9 in three overs) against Bangladesh Women at Cox’s Bazar in 2014.
