Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur slammed centuries on Saturday as India posted a mammoth 317/8 batting first against West Indies in their third match of ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022, at Hamilton.
After losing their previous game by 62 runs to New Zealand as a result of a poor batting performance, India needed a reaction from their batters against West Indies and they responded well.
The stars of the batting performance were Smriti Mandhana, who scored 123 off 119 and Harmanpreet Kaur, who amassed 109 off 107. Together they slammed 23 fours and four sixes.
They also put up a partnership of 184 runs for the fourth wicket — the highest for India in the Women’s Cricket World Cup. It is also the first time India crossed the 300-run mark in the history of the tournament.
The social media was full of praises as the cricket fraternity saluted both the batters. Here are some of the best reactions:
That was some innings from Smriti Mandhana! So classy and equally powerful on both sides. Joy to watch.

Smriti Mandhana. What a player. Her second World Cup century. Both against West Indies – today in Hamilton and the previous one in Taunton in 2017. She is all class. #CWC22 pic.twitter.com/7uY8Ft7yN3 — Mazher Arshad (@MazherArshad) March 12, 2022

Century for Harmanpreet too. Following her explosive innings in the previous game. Indian team looks a lot more impressive when she’s amongst the runs. Genuine striker of the cricket ball…keeps taking the game forward. Form is temporary…Class is permanent, you see #WWC22 — Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) March 12, 2022
The power of Harmanpreet. What a partnership that was with Mandhana. Good to see the freedom with which they batted.
