Jhulan fell by the way
Indian players proved both the expectations right. However, the Indian batsmen could not do anything special and the entire team was bundled out for just 169 runs, but the bowlers definitely made up for this shortcoming. Especially young fast bowler Renuka Thakur (4/29) continued the series of deadly swing bowling in England that started with the Commonwealth Games here. After taking 4 wickets in the second ODI, Thakur demolished England’s top order here too and took 3 of the first 4 wickets.
Jhulan Goswami (2/30), the highest wicket-taker in international cricket, also added two more wickets to her account on the go. Goswami first took the wicket of 18-year-old batsman Alice Capsi and then bowled Kate Cross.
England’s efforts fail
Apart from this, Jhulan also presented the view of excellent fielding and took a good catch at slips off Rajeshwari Gaikwad. England had lost 7 wickets for only 65 runs, after which captain Amy Jones and Charlie Dean tried to save the team with a good partnership, but it was insufficient. Charlie Dean (47) put in a lot of effort and brought the team closer to victory, but at the runner’s end, she went too far before Deepti Sharma bowled the ball and Deepti ran her out.
flop show of batsmen
The Indian team, which has already created history by capturing itself in the series, had a chance to clean sweep for the first time. After five years, this opportunity was special in itself for both the teams clashing at Lord’s. In such a situation, no one wanted to leave his side. The Indian team, however, could not repeat the impressive batting line-up two days ago and the entire team was bundled out for just 169 runs in 45.4 overs.
Team India’s top and middle order was a complete flop. Only opener Smriti Mandhana and all-rounder Deepti Sharma batted vigorously and continued to clash with England.
Combatant innings of memory
India had lost 4 wickets for just 29 runs. From here there was a partnership of 58 runs between Deepti and Smriti. Smriti (50) got out as soon as she completed her half-century.
