India second-best in ODI finals, Mandhana’s first hundred in Sri Lanka

India’s record in the finals in women’s ODIs. Only Australia have more wins in ODI finals than India, having won eight out of the 11 they have played. India’s total is also the second-highest in a knockout game in women’s ODIs. Australia’s 356 for 5 against England in the World Cup final in 2022 is at the top. It is also the second-highest total conceded by Sri Lanka in ODIs.

Number of 300-plus totals for India in 2025, the joint-most by a team in a calendar year in women’s ODIs, alongside New Zealand, who also had four such scores in consecutive matches in 2018.

Fifty-plus partnerships between Mandhana and Pratika Rawal in eight matches in 2025, the joint-most by an opening pair in women’s ODIs in a calendar year, equaling the record of Belinda Clark and Lisa Keightley who also had seven in 2000.

Mandhana’s 11th ODI hundred was her first in Sri Lanka, the sixth country where she has a hundred in the format. Lanning, Sophie Devine and Bates also have scored ODI hundreds in six countries.

Mandhana’s score on Sunday is the third-highest in a women’s ODI tournament final.
