Womens T20 WC: Deepti Sharma Bags 5-10 As India Thrash Pakistan By 64 Runs

T20 World Cup: Deepti Sharma produced a career-best spell of 5-10 as India thrashed Pakistan by 64 runs to begin their Womens T20 World Cup campaign in emphatic fashion at Edgbaston on Sunday. Deepti, the off-spin bowling all-rounder, was the star in weaving a vicious spin web as Pakistan collapsed from 75 for 3 to 106 all out in 17 overs. Smriti Mandhanas fluent 68 and Richa Ghoshs late assault of 34 had earlier carried India to 170/6 in 20 overs. Apart from Deepti, left-arm spinner N Sree Charani also stood out with 3-21 as India pocketed two points and a healthy net run rate to assert their dominance against Pakistan yet again. Pakistan began their chase with intent by racing to 52/1 in the powerplay their highest score in the six-over phase against India in T20 World Cups. Muneeba Ali, dropped twice in the first four overs, made India pay by hitting four fluent boundaries. Gull Feroza added two boundaries against a shoddy Indian bowling line-up, before reverse-sweeping to backward point off Deepti. After Pakistan won the power-play, they couldnt capitalise on it thanks to sharp spin bowling from Indias spinners in the middle overs. Deepti, who kept pressure on with her dot balls and bowling slower through the air, had Ayesha Zafar sweeping to short fine leg, before Sree Charani found Saira Jabeens leading edge and was caught at short cover.
