Headline: Prathika Rawal Equals World Record in Women’s Cricket World Cup Match Against New Zealand
New Delhi, India – Indian opening batter Prathika Rawal has etched her name in the record books during the Women’s One Day International (ODI) World Cup match against New Zealand. In the 24th match of the tournament, Rawal equaled a long-standing world record for the fastest woman cricketer to reach 1000 ODI runs.
New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl first. As Rawal scored 11 runs, she reached the milestone after just 23 innings in her career. This achievement puts her on par with Australia’s LynsayReeler, who set the record 37 years ago.
Rawal’s rapid rise has surpassed several notable players, including fellow Australian Meg Lanning, South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt, and Indian veteran Mithali Raj.
Furthermore, Rawal’s feat is the fastest in terms of days since debut, reaching the 1000-run mark in just 304 days since her debut on December 22, 2024. She surpasses the previous record of 734 days held by Laura Wolvaardt.
Rawal’s achievement is a bright spot for the Indian team.
