Smriti Mandhana, Women’s T20 World Cup 2026: The Indian team is going to start its campaign in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 from June 14. This campaign will start with the great match against Pakistan. This India-Pakistan match will also be an opportunity for Smriti Mandhana to become number 1. Smriti can become number 1 in terms of scoring most runs in T20 matches between the two countries. There are more chances of him becoming number 1 in the India-Pakistan T20 match because the match is on England’s ground and in the month of June.
Most runs in India-Pak T20I
Smriti Mandhana is currently at third place in terms of scoring the most runs in the T20 matches played between India and Pakistan. He has scored 239 runs in the 10 T20s played so far against Pakistan. The second place in this matter is of former Pakistan captain Bismah Maharoof, who has scored 248 runs in 14 matches. Currently at number 1 is Mithali Raj, who has scored 315 runs in 10 T20Is against Pakistan.

Now Mithali Raj and Bismah Maharoof have retired. In such a situation, Smriti Mandhana, who is at number three, has a chance to leave both of them behind and become number 1 on June 14. Smriti Mandhana needs just 77 runs to become number 1. Now you will say that is it possible for Smriti to become number 1 by scoring 77 runs against Pakistan? If it is not easy then it is not difficult either. Especially when the match is held in England and in the month of June.
England’s ground, month of June, Mandhana will become number 1!
Smriti Mandhana made her biggest score or rather her first century in T20 International in the month of June last year on the grounds of England. That match was in Nottingham and this time the clash with Pakistan in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 is at Edgbaston. But the month is the same June. In such a situation, memory can be expected to repeat that history. If this happens, then after the India-Pak match to be held on June 14, Smriti Mandhana will not only become the highest run-scorer in the T20I played between the two countries, but India can also be seen winning.
