Women’s Asia Cup: Harmanpreet, Richa Half-centuries Carry India To 78-run Win Over UAE
Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium: Captain Harmanpreet Kaur hit a fine 12th T20I fifty, while wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh got her first half-century in the format to set the base for India’s comfortable 78-run over UAE in their second 2024 Women’s Asia Cup match at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
On a fresh pitch with wind blowing across, India were in early trouble after losing three wickets in power-play. But Harmanpreet and Richa added 75 runs off 45 balls for the fifth wicket, as India made 201/5, the first time they posted a score above 200 in women’s T20Is.
It is also the highest ever score posted in the history of Women's Asia Cup in T20 format, surpassing the 181/4 which was also hit by India against Malaysia in 2022. Harmanpreet’s 66 off 47 balls, laced with seven fours and a six, steadied India’s ship.
