After waiting for the entire 12 years, the Women's World Cup has returned to India and the first match of the tournament is going to be between hosts India and Sri Lanka.

In this match to be held on Tuesday 30 September in Guwahati, Team India will land as a winner. The success of the Indian team in this tournament will depend largely on the performance of the team's vice-captain and star opener Smriti Mandhana. If the bat of memory goes on then the success of the Indian team is certain, as well as their records are also firm and it will start from the first match itself.

Smriti Mandhana has often failed to repeat her performance in a tournament like World Cup, which has been running for Team India continuously for the last decade in international cricket.

In such a situation, she has also been a victim of criticism. But this time the left -handed batsman has a chance to eliminate these criticisms and this is all possible to see the kind of form they are. By scoring 2 consecutive centuries in the ODI series against Australia, Mandhana indicated that he is ready to do wonders in the World Cup as well.

Hat -trick of a century?

Mandhana, the vice-captain of Team India, will have a chance to continue this form from the first match against Sri Lanka. In this match too, Team India will need a big innings from Smriti.

Now the Indian opener also scored a century in this match, so they will reach second number in terms of scoring the most ODI centuries in the history of women's cricket. Mandhana has scored 13 centuries so far and he is jointly at number two with New Zealand's Suzy Bates. But as soon as he scored a century here, he will have 14 centuries and she will get closer to leaving former Australian captain Meg Lanning (15). Also, their centuries will also have hat -trick.

World record will break as soon as 112 runs

Now if Mandhana scored a century and then scored 112 runs, then she will complete her 5000 runs in ODI cricket and will become the second female cricketer of India only in the world to do so.

But the most important thing is that Mandhana will become the fastest female cricketer to score 5000 runs. Mandhana will break the record of West Indies veteran Stephanie Taylor in this case, who set this record in 129 innings. Mandhana currently has 4888 runs in 108 innings. She can do this wonders in 109 innings.
