Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian cricket team, scored a century on Wednesday, which contributed to India’s victory over England. This was India’s first victory in a series versus England in a very extended period. Once Harmanpreet gets going during a game of cricket, no bowler will be able to stop her since she is such a distinctive batter. Even while many already knew how incredible Harmanpreet is, her knock against England served as another evidence of her brilliance. According to women cricket news, take a look at Harmanpreet’s five hundreds in one-day international cricket that have stunned fans of the sport in every region of the world. 

  • At the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, India, the score against England is currently “107 not out.” Harmanpreet Kaur scored her first century in a One-Day International (ODI) competition while she was competing for India in the ICC Women’s World Cup in England in 2013. Charlotte Edwards, who had previously served as captain of England, scored a century at Brabourne while the side was in the process of batting first. Because of this, the squad was able to post a respectable score of 272 runs in 50 overs. When they were down to 29/3 and in a deep hole, India had been trying to catch up for seven and a half overs. They were in a precarious position. Harmanpreet, the No. 4 batsman for India, was able to stay on the field and amass 107 runs without being dismissed from his batting position. Because of this, India may have reason to be hopeful. The fact that India’s score after 50 overs was 240/9 was a contributing factor to their defeat, as it provided the competing side with a margin of victory of 32 runs. When Harmanpreet achieves a hundred in a match, the team India is playing has never previously been defeated by that opponent. 
  • India won against Bangladesh in the 103rd match of the series, which took place at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad. In the second half of 2013, Bangladesh traveled to India to compete in a three-game One-Day International (ODI) series as well as a three-game Twenty20 International series. Bangladesh won all three ODI matches and all three T20I matches (T20I). The second one-day international was played in Ahemdabad, which served as the host city. When it was India’s turn to bat, they elected to go ahead and start scoring. Poonam Raut, who batted first for India, amassed 80 runs, which allowed the squad to get off to a strong start. Harmanpreet was able to assist her by scoring 103 runs without being dismissed in a total of 100 deliveries. Because of these two separate factors, India’s score improved to 256 out of a possible 5 points. As a result of the strong performance of their spinners, India established a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. The total number of runs that Bangladesh was able to score over the three matches was merely 210. 
  • The match between England and Australia. Harmanpreet made one of the most impressive knocks in the annals of women’s one-day international cricket at the 2017 Women’s World Cup, which was played in England. This tournament was hosted in England. Rain delayed the start of India and Australia’s second semifinal match, which was scheduled to take place earlier in the day. Because of the delay, the match was only played for a total of 42 overs for each team. When Harmanpreet walked up to the crease, the score for India was already 35 for 2, and they were in a position to bat. After that, Harmanpreet unleashed his fury on the bowlers from Australia and went on a killing spree. He reached an undefeated 171 off 115 balls, hitting 20 fours and 7 sixes on his route to the score. He accomplished all of this without dropping a single match. Her incredible score, which she achieved all by herself, contributed to India reaching a total of 281.4 points. The greatest total that Australia could muster was 245, but it wasn’t enough to prevent India from winning by 36 runs and advancing to the championship match.
  • West Indies versus. New Zealand, Hamilton Stadium, 109 | Harmanpreet got her third hundred of the Women’s 50-over World Cup earlier this year in a match that was played in Hamilton against the West Indies. The match was part of the Women’s World Cup. The match was played during the Women’s World Cup competition. India was able to post a massive score of 317/8 in their allotted 50 overs thanks to the 123 runs scored by Smriti Mandhana at the top of the order. When it was Harmanpreet’s turn to bat for the fourth player, he racked up 109 runs. As a result of the West Indies not scoring after they were bowled out for 162, India was able to easily win the match by a margin of 155 runs. 
  • India faced up against England, which took place in Canterbury, England. When Harmanpreet needed a big hit to reach her fifth one-day international hundred, she was able to get one. The position of India’s permanent captain for One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals has been given to Harmanpreet. She blasted the English bowlers for 18 fours and 4 sixes on her way to an unbeaten 143 in just 111 balls during the second one-day international (ODI) of the three-game series against England. This occurred in the middle of the second game of the set consisting of three games. Harmanpreet’s performance allowed India to achieve their tremendous score of 333/5, which is their second-highest score in this format. This result is also India’s second-highest score overall. The bowlers for India did an excellent job of restricting England’s score to only 245, which contributed to India’s victory by a margin of 88 runs. In addition, as a direct result of this victory, India was successful in claiming a series victory in England for the first time since the year 1999.
