Indian women's cricket team has for long been a force in the game and the truth of the matter is that they didn’t just play fantastically in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2017, if one were to recount
their prominence, they’ve played great in other events that have followed. In 2017, for instance, India played so well in that year’s UK-bound World Cup that the event led to the unfurling of Harmanpreet’s stormy and perhaps generation changing 171 against the Aussies.
Fact is that India have always been an exciting confluence of talent and consistency only for the ladies side perhaps not holding their nerve during the most decisive ICC premier events, as see in the past. But as the most critical part of the ongoing ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 is about to undergo live soon, let us also look at some of the highest team totals by India in Women’s One Day International (WODI), an encapsulation of batting feats so supreme that it would pay rich dividends to recollext them time and again
List of Highest Totals by India in Women's ODIs
India 435-5 vs Ireland in Jan 2025 - Won
This is the highest total by India in women’s ODIs. And just look for a second at the sheer monumental nature of the score. And it happened earlier this year, which made it a feat to keep going back to, one to marvel at. 435, at the end of the day and that too, against a team that, lest it is forgotten, has quality bowlers in the form of Orla Prendergast and Cara Murray and the likes. It was a game where Mandhana, 135 off just 80 and Pratika Rawal were responsible for a very fine opening run stand that amounted to 233 runs.
India 370-5 vs Ireland in Jan 2025 - Won
Yet another occasion that did in fact lead to one of the highest totals by India in women’s ODIs in that the team scored a fiery and pulsating 370-run total, in the space of the same series against Ireland. Team India, hosts on that particular occasion, struck mighty 370-plus team total, which went onto attest their sheer dominance with the bat. Ireland were, without much of a doubt, outplayed despite a fine 80 run score by Coulter Reilly. But that day belonged to none other than Jemimah for her glorious and timely 102.
India 369 vs Australia in Sep 2025 - Lost
In a year where India women's cricket team made some splendid and Herculean team totals, how could 2025 not had Australia bowlers facing the ire of their blazing batters?
Despite scoring a mighty fine and quite imposing 369, one of the highest totals by India in women’s ODIs, they lost the contest to Australia in a vital one dayer held earlier in September this very year in pursuit of 413-run target. Beth Mooney stole away the game with a timely century that tilted the contest towards her dominant Aussie side early in the piece.
India 358-2 vs Ireland in May 2017 - Won
Raiders of the lost ark but the team that never really loses its spark; India women, nearly eight years back in the day, were at it again. At it being hammering a familiar opponent in the fifty-over white ball game without much ado. And that opponent being Ireland.
In making a humungous 358 for the loss of two wickets, India put forth a huge total only to see Ireland score just 109. And that’s it.
But in a glorious and mighty team score of 358 for the loss of two wickets, Deepti Sharma steered India before smattering Ireland at Potschefstroom in what was a critical quadrangular series contested in 2017. She would score a Titan-like 188 from the bat. 188. And yet, we hardly seem to recollect that magnificent belter of a knock played by our very own all rounder who hails from Agra.
India 358-5 vs West Indies in Dec 2024 - Won
The West Indies women's cricket team have time and again been hammered by India and in 2024, one saw a similar situation marked by their clueless, hopeless bowling that allowed the mighty dominant opponent to score 358 for the loss of five wickets. Remember, it wasn’t that long ago. Just imagine the nature of India’s dominance with the top three scoring 53 (Smriti Mandhana), 76 (Pratika Rawal), and Harleen Deol scoring 115 off just 103. In reply, the Caribbean team reached 243 with captain Hayley Matthews making 106 on her own. A one-woman show, the likes of which we’ve often seen from the Bajan girl’s bat many a time before. Haven’t we?
