India Women vs Australia Women ODI Match Stats

The 2nd ODI between India Women and Australia Women was not just a random game, it was a record-breaking contest. The Australian team faced an embarrassing defeat that rewrote many records for them.

If you look at the match generally, you would say it was yet another defeat for Australia on Indian soil. But, when you go into the numbers that are hidden in the stats, you will see a new picture. As an Australian fan, these numbers are embarrassing, and as an Indian fan, they represent a moment of pride.

When India came out to bat first in the 2nd ODI, they knew that the pitch would offer an opportunity to score big. They played with wisdom, making sure to keep the wickets in hand while rotating strike regularly. This allowed them to form partnerships throughout the game. The main anchor of their innings remained Smriti Mandhana, who played a remarkable knock of 117 off 91 balls.

In contrast, when Australia Women came out to bat, they looked in a bit of a hurry. That was the key reason why they lost quick wickets at the start. Though Ellyse Perry tried to steady one end, the other batters weren’t simply helpful. They kept on losing wickets one after another due to the discipline shown by India in bowling.

As a result, Australia Women lost the match by embracing some bizarre stats. These numbers are astonishing because associating them with a strong team like Australia often looks awkward.

Let’s take a look at some numbers that emerged after the completion of the 2nd ODI between India Women and Australia Women.

Biggest Margin of Defeat     

India Women defeated Australia Women by 102 runs in the 2nd ODI. This is the biggest margin of defeat Australia Women have faced in their entire ODI history. The previous was the loss against England by 92 runs. That defeat also came way back in 1973 when the Women’s World Cup was organized for the first time.

Big Runs for India

India Women scored 292 against Australia Women in the 2nd ODI. This is the second-highest team total against Australia Women in ODIs. The first one is the total of 298 scored by England at Hamilton in 2022. The score of India is more painful, because it gave Australia a big defeat by 102 runs.

Fastest Hundred Against Australia

Smriti Mandhana scored a swift century against Australia in the 2nd ODI. She took just 77 balls to score a stunning ton against the visitors. This is the fastest hundred in terms of balls against Australia Women. The previous one was of Nat Sciver-Brunt’s 79-ball hundred.

Continuous ODI Losses Against India in India

Australia Women do not have a good ODI record in India. They have won just one game in their last 12 ODIs. This means that they have been beaten in India with the score of 11-1. These are some awkward numbers that do not sit well with a strong team like Australia.

Final Words

The Australian team would be eagerly looking to comeback stronger in the next game against India. They suffered a big loss in New Chandigarh, which made some embarrassing records for them. The visitors are therefore under a bit of pressure, but they know how to overcome such challenges with a strong payback. Therefore, the next game between these two teams will be worth watching, as it will also decide who will take the final crown of the ODI series.
