Became the second player to do so:
Smriti Mandhana has become the second player from Australia to score a century in all three formats of the game. Before her, Alyssa Perry of Australia was the only one to achieve this feat. Mandhana had earlier scored 127 runs in 216 balls during the Day-Night Test in 2021, apart from 102 runs in 109 balls during ODIs in 2016.
Mandhana scored 102 in 109 balls during the 2016 ODI and 127 in 216 balls in the 2021 Test and then 114 runs in 64 balls in this T20 match. However, Sydney could not win this match even after the wonderful innings of Smriti Mandhana. In reply to Melbourne’s 175, Sydney managed to score 171 runs in the allotted 20 overs for the loss of 2 wickets.
