The highlight came when he made 58 innings from 121 deliveries on Friday. Batting at number 5, Harmanpreet hit seven boundaries and played a major role in driving India’s innings with an 89-wicket partnership for the fourth time with the vice-captain. Smriti Mandhanawho made 83 from 108 balls. Punjab batsmen needed just 13 runs before the start of the game to reach the milestone.

Mithali ended her international career in 2022 with 10,868 runs in 333 matches. Mandhana, who is the joint 300 in the world in Lord’s Tests, has already scored 10,667 runs in all formats.

The 37-year-old has had one of the longest and most successful careers in women’s cricket since she made her international debut against Pakistan in an ODI at Bowral on March 7, 2009. She also holds the distinction of being the most capped player in women’s cricket and remains the only player in both men’s and women’s international cricket to have played more than 200 T20Is. As captain, Harmanpreet led India to the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup title in November 2025, adding a major international trophy to her captaincy. She previously led India to the finals of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in 2020, where the team finished runner-up after losing to Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Recently, Harmanpreet led India in the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
