For a long time, Harmanpreet Kaur has been the main strength of the Indian batting order across formats. She has been the most effective in the 50-overs format. Some of her best knocks in international cricket have come in ODI cricket. On this note, let us take a look at Harmanpreet Kaur’s top 3 batting performances in ODIs.
1. 171* vs Australia, 2017
This is not just Harmanpreet’s best knock in her international career but one of the greatest-ever batting performances in the history of the Women’s World Cup. India and Australia faced off in the semi-final of the 2017 ODI World Cup. In the high-stakes encounter the Indian captain Mithali Raj elected to bat first after winning the toss. India suffered a couple of early blows but what transpired after that was purely majestic. Harman thrashed the Aussie bowling attack and smashed an unbeaten 171 runs off just 115 deliveries. India eventually won the semi-final to make it into the finale.
2. 143* vs England, 2022
Whenever Harmanpreet Kaur scores, she scores big. 143* vs England is another massive century from her in tough English conditions. Batting first the Indian team was in a spot of bother as they lost three wickets in the first twenty overs without even adding 100 runs. But the skipper stepped up when it was needed and took control of things. Her 143 runs off 111 deliveries took India to a huge total of 333 runs in the first innings which later proved to be a winning total.
3. 109 vs West Indies, 2022
Harmanpreet Kaur has a knack for scoring runs on the big stages. This century was also scored in the World Cup. She scored these runs against West Indies in the 2022 ODI World Cup. India batted first in the match and Harman’s partnership with Smriti Mandhana rattled the opposition bowling unit as India ended up with 317 runs in the first innings. The Indians went on to win the match in the end by 155 runs.
