The 35-year-old went past Rohit Sharma when she scored a brillaint 56 off 47 balls against Pakistan.  Against Ireland, she scored 51 off 56 balls to complete her 17th T20I half-century. Mithali now has 2,283 T20I runs under her belt, while Rohit and Virat Kohli have 2,207 and 2,102 T20I runs, respectively. 

Mithali has played 80 T20I innings so far, while Rohit has played 80 and Kohli 58. 

Harmanpreet & Co. face Australia in World T20 

Georgetown (Guyana): Having already qualified for the semifinals of the ICC World T20, India will be up up for a serious test when they take on a mighty Australia in an inconsequential tie at the Providence Stadium on Saturday. 

Both India and Australia are unbeaten so far in the tournament and despite Saturday’s match being of little significance, a win for the Women in Blue will put them in a pretty good mental space ahead of the knockouts. 

India topped Group B after registering convincing wins over New Zealand, Pakistan and Ireland in their first three outings while Australia are second after beating the same three sides. — Agencies
