Match Details
Earlier in the game, India Women did not get off to the best
of starts after opting to bat first as they lost their first three wickets
inside 5 overs and the score had barely touched 20 runs. Only Meghana got to 10
amongst the first three wickets to fall. Thereafter, it was the Deepti
Sharma-Jemimah Rodrigues show.
The duo stitched a magnificent 128-run stand for
the fourth wicket. Deepti Sharma played second fiddle in the partnership and
held one end up for her 64 off 49 balls. Jemimah Rodrigues continued her good
form in the Women’s Asia Cup 2022 as she scored an unbeaten 75 off 45 balls.
Cameos from Pooja Vastrakar (13 off 5), and Kiran Navgire (10*off 4) took India
to a mammoth 178-5 in 20 overs.
A wicket apiece for Mahika Gaur, Chaya Mughal, Esha Rohit
Oza, and Suraksha Kotte. Mahika was impressive as we expected her to be. The
leg spinner Mahesh went wicketless today. UAE Women were a bit tardy in the
field as well. Even UAE Women gave away only 4 extras to the India Women team.
So, a win for India Women by 104 runs to go top of the points table. Stick around for the presentation coming your way shortly.
