• Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma forged a record 162-run opening partnership, the best for any wicket for India in women’s T20Is.
• Smriti Mandhana became the fourth woman to complete 10,000 international runs across formats, joining Mithali Raj, Suzie Bates, and Charlotte Edwards.
• Shafali Verma scored her third successive half-century, narrowly missing a maiden T20I century.
• Richa Ghosh (unbeaten 40) and Harmanpreet Kaur added a brisk 53-run stand, ensuring India surpassed the 200-run mark.
