The Hundred: Which two Indians have the most 50+ scores?

The Hundred kicked off its 3rd season yesterday. Smriti Mandhana’s half-century meant that she now has the joint-most 50+ scores in the women’s competition.

Yesterday marked the beginning of The Hundred’s third season. The women’s competition got the tournament started when the hosts, Trent Rockets, and the runners-up from the previous two seasons, Southern Brave, faced off. The Rockets chose to put the visitors in to bat first after winning the toss. They swiftly regretted choosing to field first as openers Smriti Mandhana and Dani Wyatt put together a 65-run partnership. Following Wyatt’s dismissal, Mandhana and Maia Bouchier partnered again for 63 runs. Prior to being removed, Smriti Mandhana earned a half-century. She is now tied for first place on the list of players with the most 50+ scores in the Hundred Women’s competition.

The joint-most 50+ scores in the Hundred Women’s competition belong to Jemimah Rodrigues. Rodrigues has four scores of fifty-plus. Rodrigues, who plays for the Northern Superchargers, produced three fifty-point runs in 2021 and one in 2022.

Smriti Mandhana

Mandhana has four 50+ scores, much like her national counterpart. Mandhana recorded three fifty-scores throughout the 2021 and 2022 seasons, and yesterday she recorded her fourth fifty-score of the competition. Yesterday’s half-century by the 27-year-old was crucial to Southern Brave’s victory over Trent Rockets. Her half-century enabled the Braves to score 157 in the opening innings. The Rockets only managed 130 in their 100 balls, therefore the score was ultimately too much for them.

Deandra Dottin

Deandra Dotting has a number of impressive achievements under her belt already. The all-rounder, 32, became the first female century-scorer in T20 cricket. She defeated South Africa in a 2010 World T20 match and tallied the first century in women’s T20 cricket history. In the women’s Hundred, she also has the joint second-most half-centuries. For Manchester Originals, Dottin has so far scored three half-centuries. In the 2021 season, she scored one half-century, and in the 2022 season, she scored two half-centuries.

On the list of the most 50+ scores, there is yet another all-arounder. The Trent Rockets player Nat Sciver-Brunt has three half-centuries in the women’s Hundred. She came extremely close to reaching a fourth half-century in yesterday’s match between Trent Rockets and Southern Brave before being dismissed for 49 runs.

Laura Wolvaardt

Three half-centuries and a member of the Northern Superchargers are attributes of Laura Wolvaardt. In the 2021 season, she scored one half-century, and in the 2022 season, she scored two half-centuries. 

Danielle Wyatt

Three half-centuries have been scored by the veteran English top-order batsman for the Southern Brave. In the 2021 season, Dani Wyatt scored two half-centuries, and in the 2022 season, he scored one.
