Indian women have the highest ODI total in history with 358/5
It was India's women's highest total in ODI cricket. In addition, the Indian women's cricket team rewrote the record books with an incredible display of batting dominance in 2024. India women made three mammoth totals of over 300 in ODI cricket this year, surpassing their previous best scores of over 300 scores in 2022.
Adding another feather to their cap, the Indian women's team also crossed the 200-run mark twice in ODIs this year, a milestone they have failed to achieve in their history. India are currently looking for another big win over West Indies after taking three wickets for just 40 runs.
