Smriti Mandhana, the star opening batter for India's Women's Cricket Team, failed to capitalize on a promising start during her team's opening match against Thailand in the Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026 in Dubai. Despite starting well, Mandhana was dismissed for just 19 runs off just 10 balls. Her innings began with three boundaries in the first over and continued with four fours, but her dismissal proved costly.
Mandhana, second only to Mithali Raj in terms of runs scored by an Indian woman in international cricket, had the opportunity to surpass Mithali's record of 10,868 runs in women's international cricket. Unfortunately, her dismissal ended her chances.
