Women’s T20 World Cup: Deepti Sharma’s superb bowling helped India beat Indies by 6 wickets. The Indian women’s cricket team registered its second consecutive win, defeating the West Indies by six wickets in its second Group B match. With this, the team also strengthened its claim to reach the semi-finals. In the last match, the team had already secured two points by defeating Pakistan. Now he has four points equal to the top-ranked England. The team’s next match is against England on Saturday.
In such a situation, that match will be like a ticket to the semi-finals. West Indies won the toss and decided to bat, but it did not go in their favor. The West Indies team could only manage 118 runs for six wickets in 20 overs. After the early dismissal of captain Hayley Mathews, Taylor and Campbell shared a 73-run partnership to guide the team towards a big target. However, in the 14th over, Deepti dismissed Campbell and then Taylor to turn the match in India’s favour.
Deepti took three wickets, Pooja and Renuka took one wicket each for India. Chasing a target of 119, India’s openers Shefali and Smriti got off to a blistering start and added 32 runs for the first wicket. After this, captain Harmanpreet and Richa Ghosh shared a 72-run partnership to lay the foundation for the victory. Richa scored 44, Harmanpreet 33 and Shefali scored 28 runs. Due to this, India achieved the target for four wickets in 18.1 overs.
