Smriti Mandhana becomes the first woman to score 11,000 international runs

Needing 13 runs at the start of the Asian Games final on September 22, 2026, Mandhana reached the landmark in the third over and went on to a match-defining 79 off 45 balls. The 30-year-old left-hander had already passed Mithali Raj's 10,868-run record earlier this month to become women's cricket's all-time leading run-scorer across formats.
