India has reached the semi-finals of the Women's Asia Cup 2026. But today's victory will be giving the most self-satisfaction to the players of Team India, because Pakistan will be in front. Today the India-Pakistan match will start at 8 pm Indian time. Once again the eyes of the world will be on Smriti Mandhana, who has 10880 runs in international cricket, which is the highest in the world.
Smriti Mandhana played a century inning of 124 runs against Hong Kong. With this, she not only made the world record of most runs in women's international cricket but also most centuries (18). Apart from this, he had made all the records during that century innings.
Another world record
