India went all guns blazing today against Australia in match 13 of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, managing to post an absolutely mammoth total in the end. It all started when Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal started an onslaught of boundaries and maximums in the latter stages of the first power play.

They continued the carnage well into the first innings, and it seemed like there might be no end to their partnership as they went on to break numerous records in the process. However, Smriti fell on 80 and Pratika Rawal succumbed a few overs later on 75. But that didn’t stop the rest of the team from taking the total to 330 runs by the end of the innings. Yes, India were bowled out, but not before registering India’s highest ever total in an ICC Women’s ODI World Cup. Tonight’s total of 330/10 stands as not only India’s highest World Cup total, but also as the highest score against Australia in ICC Women’s World Cup ever.

Looking at the highest totals for IND-W in ODI World Cups, this score proudly sits at the summit, significantly eclipsing the previous highest mark of $317/8$ set against the West Indies in the 2022 edition at Hamilton. This change in scoring power highlights the aggressive evolution of the team’s batting unit. The list also features two key scores from the monumental 2017 campaign, the $281/4$ achieved in the epic semi-final win against Australia(Harmanpreet Kaur scored 171*), and the $281/3$ against England in the league stage, showing that India has consistently reserved its biggest punches for the World Cup stage.

This performance ensures that Visakhapatnam will forever be remembered as the site where Australia’s World Cup defensive fortress finally yielded a monumental total.
