Smriti Mandhana has officially overtaken former captain Mithali Raj as India’s leading run-scorer in women’s international cricket. Mandhana reached this career milestone during a Women's Asia Cup match against Hong Kong, moving past Raj’s previous record of 10,868 runs.

While both outlets confirm the achievement, they differ in their focus. Al Jazeera frames the event as a significant historical milestone for the player, emphasizing the transition of the record from one legendary Indian captain to another. In contrast, the Hindustan Times focuses on the immediate context of the match, highlighting the specific tournament—the Women's Asia Cup—where the record was broken.

There is no dispute regarding the statistics provided, though the reports vary in their level of detail. Al Jazeera provides the specific run total previously held by Mithali Raj, whereas the Hindustan Times emphasizes the 'record-breaking' nature of the day's performance against Hong Kong without explicitly citing the total run count in the provided text.
