India clinched a 59-run victory against Sri Lanka in their 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup opener, powered by Deepti Sharma's exceptional all-round display. Sharma (53 runs, 3/54) and Amanjot Kaur (57 runs) rebuilt India's innings after a collapse, setting a 271-run target. Indian bowlers then restricted Sri Lanka to 211, securing a crucial win despite earlier rain delays.

Smriti Mandhana made history on Saturday. She became the first Indian woman cricketer to score centuries in all formats. This happened during the T20I against England Women. Mandhana scored 112 runs off 62 balls. India Women posted 210/5, their highest T20I score against England. Her achievement places her among the elite cricketers globally.
