Mumbai: Indian women about history at DY Patil Stadium! India’s lone Test win over England is the biggest win in women’s Test history.
India won by 347 runs. Sri Lanka’s 309-run victory over Pakistan in Colombo in 1998 became a legend. This is the first time that India have won a Test match against England at home. Deepti Sharma’s spin bowling made the visitors happy. The player took nine wickets in both innings.
Batting with a target of 478 runs, India bowled England out for 131 runs in 27.3 overs. India declared at 186 for six in the second innings. Earlier, India scored 428 runs in the first innings. England’s first innings ended on 136 runs. Deepti, who conceded just seven runs in the first innings and took five wickets, took four wickets in the second innings conceding 32 runs in eight overs. Pooja Vastrakar took three wickets and Rajeshwari Gaekwad took two wickets.
England heroine Heather Knight is their top scorer. The player got out after scoring 21 runs off 20 balls. None of England’s batsmen could hold their own against the Indian bowling. India, who entered the second innings without following England, could not repeat the batting excellence of the first innings. Mandana (26) and Shafali (33) added 61 runs for the first wicket. Jemima Rodriguez scored 27 runs. Harmanpreet Singh, who added 53 runs with Pooja Vastrakar (17) for the seventh wicket, is at the crease with 44 runs. Subha Satish was unable to bat due to a finger injury.
India declared without going into bat on the third day and sent England to bat. Deepti is the second Indian player to take fifty and five wickets in women’s Tests. The first Indian all-rounder to achieve the same feat was Subhangi Kulkarni in 1985 against New Zealand.
