Women’s T20I Tri-Series: Match 3, India vs England – Statistical Highlights

The India-England game turned out to be a run-feast with both the teams nearly touching the 200-run mark as two of the top three totals in Women’s T20I cricket were recorded in the game. India posted their highest total ever with 198/4 thanks to Smriti Mandhana’s 40-ball 76 and a 43-ball 53 from Mithali Raj. Daniel Wyatt single-handedly guided England in the mammoth chase with her 64-ball 124-run effort as the visitors won the game with eight balls to spare.

All the stats and numbers that were recorded during the high-scoring game between India and England:

1 – England’s Jenny Gunn became the first cricketer in T20I history (Men’s or Women’s cricket) to feature in 100 games. This game between India and England was the 100th game of Gunn’s T20I career.

2 – Danielle Wyatt became the 2nd player after Deandra Dottin to score multiple centuries in Women’s T20I cricket. Her 52-ball century is the 2nd quickest in Women’s T20I behind Dottin’s 38-ball hundred in 2010 against South Africa.

4 – The century opening stand for India is the 4th century stand to include Mithali Raj in Women’s T20I cricket. Mithali, Suzie Bates (6) and Meg Lanning (4) are the only players to be a part of four and more century partnerships in Women’s T20Is.

24 – Danielle Wyatt’s 24-ball fifty is the 4th fastest fifty in Women’s T20I cricket and also the fastest by an England player. This is also the joint 2nd fastest fifty for England in T20I cricket (Men’s and Women’s cricket) behind Ravi Bopara’s 23-ball effort against Australia in 2014.

25 – Smriti Mandhana’s fifty off 25 balls is the fastest T20I fifty for India Women. Mandhana scored a 30-ball fifty in the previous game against Australia. Her 76 in this game is the 3rd highest individual score for India Women in T20I cricket and the highest score for India Women in India.

124 – Danielle Wyatt’s 124 is the 2nd highest individual score in Women’s T20I cricket. Meg Lanning’s 126 against Ireland in the 2014 WT20 game is the highest individual score in this format. Wyatt scored 100 against Australia in the last year’s Canberra T20I also in a run-chase. She is the only player to score hundred in run-chases in Women’s T20I.

124 – Wyatt’s 124 is the highest individual score in Men’s/Women’s T20I cricket in India surpassing Rohit Sharma’s 118 against Sri Lanka last year. Her innings is also the 2nd highest individual score in all T20I cricket while chasing behind Evin Lewis’ unbeaten 125 against India in 2017 Kingston T20I.

129 – The 129-run opening stand between Smriti Mandhana and Mithali Raj is the 2nd highest partnership for any wicket for India Women in the T20I format. MDT Kamini and Punam Raut shared 130 for the first wicket against Bangladesh in 2013.

199/3 – England’s run-chase of 199 is the highest successful chase in Women’s T20I cricket. The previous highest chase in this format is 179 which was also by England against Australia in the 2017 Canberra T20I.

Their total of 199 is the 2nd highest in Women’s T20Is behind South Africa’s 205/1 against the Netherlands in 2010. England’s previous highest total in this format is 187/5 against Pakistan in 2016.

India’s total of 198/4 in this game is the 3rd highest total in this format and their first 170+ total in Women’s T20Is. Their previous highest was 168/3 during a run-chase against South Africa in February.
