Having chosen to bat first at the flat but slightly sluggish surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, India had a brilliant start yet again by their openers Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal as they steadily added 70 runs for the first wicket.
Mandhana went to score a splendid hundred, her 11th in the format, and carried the Indian innings on her shoulders until she was dismissed in the 33rd over for 116 off 101. Her innings gave India the much-needed momentum, which was carried forward by Harmanpreet Kaur (41 off 30) and Jemimah Rodrigues (44 off 29), who both played quick-fire innings but missed their half-centuries.
Some big blows at the end by Amanjot Kaur helped India reach 342/7, their biggest total in WODIs away from home. Since 2024, India have now crossed 300 in WODIs seven times in 21 games, which is seriously impressive considering they had only four 300-plus totals in the previous 306 ODIs. They also became the second team to smash 300-plus totals four times in a calendar year in WODIs.
Meanwhile, for the third time in WODIs, a bowling attack had four or more bowlers conceding 60-plus runs against India in an innings. Only left-arm spinner Sugandika Kumari (2/59 in 10 overs) gave less than six runs/over.
