Richa Ghosh Slams Joint-fastest Fifty In Women’s T20Is Against West Indies
DY Patil Sports Academy: By smashing an 18-ball half-century in the series decider against the West Indies, India wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh equalled the record for joint-fastest fifty in the history of women’s T20Is. It is also the quickest fifty scored by an Indian women’s batter in the shortest format.
At the DY Patil Sports Academy, Richa brought out fireworks to enthrall more than 47,204 fans by smashing three fours and five sixes in her unbeaten 21-ball 54. Her blazing knock, coupled with captain Smriti Mandhana’s 77 powered India to 217/4, which is now their highest total ever in women’s T20Is.
It has easily eclipsed India’s previous best T20I total of 201/5, which came against the UAE at the Women’s Asia Cup in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, in July this year. Richa came out to bat after Smriti fell for 77, her third straight fifty of the series and 30th half-century overall in T20Is, which took her past Suzie Bates’ record of 29 fifties in the format.
