India Women’s total of 247 against Pakistan in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 has joined one of the rarest lists in women’s cricket — the highest team totals in ODIs without a single player scoring a fifty.
On a sluggish Colombo pitch, where the ball held on due to 48 hours under covers, no Indian batter crossed 40, yet the team posted a competitive 247. Richa Ghosh’s late cameo and steady partnerships throughout the innings ensured India reached a total that is now ranked fourth on this remarkable list.
Here’s a look at the highest Women’s ODI totals without an individual 50-plus score:
| Rank | Total | Team | Opponent | Venue | Year | Tournament |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 267/9 | New Zealand Women | England Women | Chennai (Velachery) | 2007 | ODI Series |
| 2 | 266/5 | Australia Women | International XI Women | Wellington | 1982 | World Cup |
| 3 | 259/8 | England Women | Australia Women | Bristol | 2017 | World Cup |
| 4 | 249 | India Women | Pakistan Women | Colombo (RPS) | 2025 | World Cup |
| 5 | 245/7 | New Zealand Women | Netherlands Women | Utrecht | 2002 | ODI Series |
India’s previous highest such total was 227 vs New Zealand in Ahmedabad (2024), which now stands eclipsed.
Jemimah Rodrigues reflected on the innings, saying, “There was a lot of moisture and the bugs were swarming around, but 247 is a fighting total on this pitch.”
With Pakistan chasing 248, this innings not only entered the record books but also highlighted India’s growing middle-order depth — a testament to their adaptability under pressure.
