107* vs England at Brabourne, Mumbai | Harmanpreet Kaur's first century in ODIs came against England during the 2013 ICC Women's World Cup hosted by India. Batting first at Brabourne, England's then captain Charlotte Edwards hit a hundred to guide her side to a respectable total of 272/8 in 50 overs. India's chase began poorly with the team down at 29/3 in 7.3 overs. But batting at no.4, Harmanpreet scored an unbeaten 107 to give India hope. Unfortunately, India managed just 240/9 in 50 overs and fell short by 32 runs. It is the only time that India lost a match when Harmanpreet notched a hundred. (Image: ICC/Solaris Images)

Indian bowlers held Bangladesh to just 210 as India took an unassailable 2-0 win in the series. (Image: PTI)

171* vs Australia at Derby England | Harmanpreet played one of the finest knocks ever seen in women's ODI cricket during the 2017 Women's 50-over World Cup held in England. India and Australia locked horns in the second semifinal of the tournament and the match was reduced to a 42-over-a-side affair due to rain. India batted first and were 35/2 when Harmanpreet arrived at the crease. From there it was all Harmanpreet show as the stylish batter punished the Aussie bowlers for 20 fours and 7 sixes to notch an unbeaten 171 from just 115 deliveries. Her hundred was single-handedly responsible to take India to a formidable total of 281/4. Australia succumbed to just 245 thereby handing India a 36-run win and a spot in the final.
