The earlier highest scorer in ladies’s cricket was Charlotte Edwards, who has 10,273 runs in worldwide cricket. Edwards and Raj are the one two ladies with greater than 10000 runs in worldwide cricket.
Two Indians now have the very best tally of runs in worldwide cricket — Sachin Tendulkar and Mithali Raj — each of whom co-incidentally made their Indian debuts on the age of 16 years and 205 days.
India are chasing 220 to win within the third ODI. India Women had already misplaced the three-match ODI sequence to England Women after dropping the primary two WODIs.
