India Make History With A Brilliant Victory Over South Africa For Maiden Women’s World Cup Title
ODI World Cup: Deepti Sharma topped a great all-round performance with a fifty and five-wicket haul as India defeated South Africa by 52 runs to claim a historic maiden Women's ODI World Cup title at the DY Patil Stadium here on Sunday.
Deepti claimed 5-39 after scoring a fighting 58 to help India score 298/7 in 50 overs and then helped the hosts bundle out South Africa for 246 in 45.3 overs to seal a memorable victory, becoming only the third country after England and Australia to win both the men's and women's ODI World Cup.
South Africa's captain, Laura Wolvaardt, waged a lone battle, but the Indians could not be denied on Sunday as they battled hard, backed each other and stunned the world with a brilliant performance. The team had lost three matches in a row and qualified for the semifinals as the last team, but went on to upset Australia and then defeated South Africa to win the title.
