Interestingly, Smriti's national team captain Harmanpreet Kaur, failed to open her account for Thunders.
Smriti's sequence of scores in the competition so far has been 48, 37, 52 no off 19 balls, 43 no off 27 balls and 102 off 61.
The left-handed opener, recently, equalled the record of the fastest half-century in women's T20 cricket set by New Zealand's Sophie Devine.
She hit a half-century off just 18 balls during a match between Western Storm and Loughborough Lightning at Taunton.
