Birmingham: India snatched a one-run victory over Pakistan in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. In the first match, they snatched a 64-run win against arch-rivals Pakistan. In response to India’s 170 runs in the match, Pakistan were bowled out for 106 runs. And Deepti Sharma is one of the architects of India’s victory. Deepti took 5 wickets for 10 runs in his 4 overs. This time, Deepti is standing in front of setting another precedent in international cricket by aceing Jhulan Goswami.

Deepti Sharma has taken a total of 354 wickets in all formats of international cricket so far. Now he needs just 2 wickets to reach a new milestone on the world stage. If Deepti can take two wickets in the next match for India, she will surpass Jhulan Goswami with 355 wickets to become the highest wicket-taker in international cricket.

It should be noted that after defeating Pak in the first match of the T20 World Cup, the team led by Harmanpreet Kaur will take on the field against the Netherlands in Leeds on Wednesday, June 17. Smriti, Harmanpreet, Richa got runs with the bat in the previous match, but the rest of the batting department could not get the runs, which could be a cause of concern for Amal Majumdar.

Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur took the fielding first in the match against Pakistan. In the match, Muniba Ali and Gul Feroza did not make a bad start in opening the match for Pakistan. However, Deepti Sharma sent back Feroza to give Pakistan the first blow in the fifth over, breaking the 38-run partnership. In his next over, he returned Ayesha Zafar to India’s star spinner all-rounder. India’s third success also came thanks to Deepti. Muniba reached the threshold of half-century by batting in a fast pace. However, Deepti Sharma ran him out for 41 runs in a quick direct hit. After that, Pakistan could not put up much of a fight. Sri Charani’s spin duo with Deepti broke Pakistan’s lower middle order like a house of cards. Apart from Alia’s 18 runs, no other batsman could score double-digit runs. In the end, Pakistan were all out for 108 runs. India won by a landslide. No cricketer from India and Pakistan was seen shaking hands with each other at the beginning and end of the match.
