Rajeshwari Gayakwad takes the final gate TeamIndia beat England by 347 runs in the only Test in Navi Mumbai.
Talking about the match, Deepti Sharma played the enforcer’s part to perfection for the alternate time in as numerous days as the dominant India Women scripted a major 347- run palm over England on the third day of the one- off Test on Saturday. India set in stir the quest for triumph while declaring their alternate innings closed at the late score of 186 for 6, leaving England to climb a huge mountain of 479 runs in their alternate innings.
The Indian bowlers led by out- incentive Deepti Sharma (4/32) and leader Pooja Vastrakar (3/23) also whisked out England for 131 to celebrate a palm which now stands as the biggest in terms of runs in the history of women’s Test justice.
Over the course of the last three days the Indians didn’t show any rust of not having played Test justice in two times, and a first at home after nine times, while being at their ruthless stylish.
But for all that slew of records, the Harmanpreet Kaur- led side should thank Deepti( 8-2-32-4) who was in her rudiments after that sensational 5 for seven in the first innings, as England demanded discretion to fight indeed on a pitch that appeared to be far more gentle.
India didn’t have to stay for long for the first advance this morning.
It came in the form of Tammy Beaumont (17) with leader Renuka Singh moving the ball in from outside the off to knock down her out- refuse.
England sunk deeper after suffering binary blows in Vastrakar’s first over. Sophie Dunkley( 15) played one straight into the hands of cover Harleen Deol at gully.
Vastrakar also dealt England a body blow when she gutted up first- innings star Nat Sciver- Brunt for a first- ball duck, getting the ball to nip back by and passing it through between the club and the pad.
India also wasted two DRS reviews in haste- one each against Heather Knight and Danni Wyatt- but didn’t have to work too hard for the third gate.
An on- song Vastrakar had one nipping down after pitching to find an outside edge off Knight’s club, as Yastika Bhatia did the rest behind the wholes. Knight made a 20- ball 21 with four boundaries.
England’s misery continued when Wyatt edged a delivery to the first slip for Deepti’s first gate in the innings after making 12.
Deepti also had Amy Jones( 5) pulling one straight to short midwicket, and in her seventh over of the innings, the 26- time-old hit the timber doubly to dismiss Kate Cross( 16) and Lauren Filer( 0).
While Deepti hardly missed taking 10 lattices in the game to come the first Indian Women’s player to do so, Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/20) enjoyed some success.
The left- arm incentive had her first success in the form of Sophie Ecclestone (10) when the batter went for a reach and missed to connect, while Lauren Bell (8) was caught by Jemimah Rodrigues at silly point for the final gate of the game.
It was a perfect spin for India also given that all their debutants in the game- Shubha Satheesh, Rodrigues and Renuka- tasted success, but there also was a dampener in the form of Shubha missing the action on the alternate and the third day owing to a shattered cutlet.
