Radha Yadav’s Fielding Brilliance Shines in India’s ODI Triumph

In the second One-Day International against New Zealand Women at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, India’s experienced spin bowler Radha Yadav showcased her exceptional fielding prowess. Her stunning catches played a pivotal role in India’s victory, disrupting New Zealand’s batting momentum and securing a crucial breakthrough.

In the 16th over of New Zealand’s innings, Radha Yadav pulled off a breathtaking catch to dismiss in-form opener Georgia Plimmer. Deepti Sharma’s well-flighted delivery tempted Plimmer to flick it to the on-side, but Radha Yadav, diving to her right, executed a spectacular catch, preventing a potential boundary.

Radha Yadav’s fielding brilliance continued as she took another breathtaking catch to dismiss Brooke Halliday. Halliday attempted to loft debutant Priya Mishra down the ground but only managed to sky the ball towards the extra cover region. Radha Yadav sprinted back, executing a full-length dive, and expertly reached the ball with both hands, ensuring it stayed secure after hitting the grass.

Earlier, New Zealand skipper Sophie Devine won the toss and elected to bat. India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur returned to the side after missing the series opener due to a niggle, while the hosts handed a maiden cap to young Priya Mishra. For New Zealand, Fran Jonas and Lea Tahuhu came in for injured Amelia Kerr and Molly Penfold.

India lead the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first ODI by 59 runs. Radha Yadav’s fielding brilliance, coupled with Deepti Sharma’s bowling prowess, proved instrumental in India’s victory, setting the stage for an exciting series finale.

India Women Aim to Emulate Men's T20 World Cup Triumph

India Women Aim to Emulate Men’s T20 World Cup Triumph

By August 27, 2024 0

India’s women’s cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is drawing inspiration from the men’s team’s recent T20 World Cup triumph as they prepare for their own campaign in the UAE in October. The women’s team has yet to lift the T20 World Cup, coming close in 2020 when they finished as runners-up in Australia.

“We have been really inspired by the men’s team, the way they won the T20 World Cup this year,” Kaur said. “They worked really hard for this trophy and won some tough matches. We need to learn how they maintained their body language for such matches and how they approached such games.”

The women’s team has faced heartbreak in recent major tournaments, losing the ODI World Cup final in 2017, the T20 World Cup final in 2020, and the Commonwealth Games final in 2022, all by narrow margins. They also suffered a disappointing defeat to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup last month.

However, Kaur is confident that her team has learned from their mistakes and is ready to challenge for the title in the UAE. “We are working extremely hard to live up to those expectations, we have been holding camps where all players are working hard. We have also worked on the mistakes we made the last time. Now we’re ready with a positive mindset.”

India is placed in Group A with Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Pakistan for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Kaur acknowledges the pressure of facing these strong teams but emphasizes the importance of staying focused and playing to their potential.

“The World Cup is a kind of tournament for which all teams prepare differently,” Kaur said. “So no team can be taken lightly and similarly no team should be overestimated either. We are working extremely hard to live up to those expectations.”

India’s campaign will kick off on October 4 against New Zealand, before taking on Pakistan on October 6, Sri Lanka on October 9, and Australia on October 13. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals on October 17 and 18, with the final scheduled for October 20 in Dubai.

India Women Dominate Asia Cup, Aim for Group Topper Spot Against Nepal

India’s women’s cricket team has showcased their prowess in both batting and bowling at the ongoing Women’s Asia Cup. As they prepare to face Nepal in their final Group A match, the defending champions are poised to secure the top spot in the group.

In their opening match against Pakistan, India’s swashbuckling openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma set the tone with a blistering start. The bowlers then stepped up, restricting Pakistan to a manageable total. In the subsequent match against the UAE, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh took center stage, guiding India to a massive 200-plus total in T20Is. Ghosh’s destructive 64 off just 29 balls was a highlight of the innings.

While Kaur played the anchor’s role, Ghosh’s blazing knock propelled India to their first-ever 200-plus total in T20Is. This dominant performance has put India in a strong position to enter the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has improved their net run rate with a comfortable win over Nepal, lifting them to second place in Group A. However, India remains unfazed and will focus on maintaining their momentum heading into the knockout stages.

Nepal, on the other hand, faces a daunting task after their heavy defeat to Pakistan. The minnows will have little time to recover before taking on the tournament favorites.

India will be aiming to extend their winning streak and seal the top berth in Group A when they face Nepal. A victory would not only secure their place in the semifinals but also give them a psychological advantage heading into the knockout rounds.
