IND W V ENG W: Deepti Becomes Second Woman Cricketer To Score Fifties In First Four Tests
DY Patil Stadium: Indian women's cricketer Deepti Sharma on Friday equalled a world record, joining Australia's Denise Emerson nee Alderman as the second player in the history of women's cricket to score half-centuries in her first four Test matches.
Deepti was batting on 70 at stumps on the second day of the one-off Test against Australia Women at the Wankhede Stadium here. She and pacer Pooja Vastrakar raised 102 runs for the unfinished eighth-wicket partnership that helped India recover from a collapse just before the tea break when they lost four quick wickets. At stumps, India were 376/7 in 119 overs, with Deepti batting on 70 with Pooja on 33.
Deeti had scored 67 and 20 runs in the previous Test against England at the DY Patil Stadium last week. The 26-year-old from Agra, Uttar Pradesh, had scored a fighting 54 in the second innings of her debut Test against England at Bristol in 2021, which helped India draw the match.
