Smriti Mandhana Scores Record Fifty As India Beat South Africa To Level Series
Indian women's cricket team opener Smriti Mandhana on Tuesday scored a blistering half-century as the hosts registered a comprehensive nine-wicket victory over South Africa in the second ODI to level the five-match series at 1-1. The left-handed batter also became the first-ever cricketer, male or female, to smash 10 consecutive scores of 50 or more in ODIs during the run chases. She surpassed New Zealand's Suzie Bates who had nine successive scores of 50 and more in run chases between 2015 and 2017. No other male or female cricketer has scored more than six 50-plus scores in consecutive ODI chases.
