In the first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, the Indian women’s team faced the Group A Pakistani team on June 14 at Edgbaston ground. In this match, Team India’s dominance was seen with both bat and ball in which they managed to achieve a big victory of 64 runs. The biggest hero of the Indian women’s team’s victory in the match against Pakistan was spin all-rounder Deepti Sharma, who took 5 wickets while giving only 10 runs in her 4 overs. Deepti also got the title of Player of the Match for her match winning performance where she also remembered Hanuman ji.
Deepti broke Renuka Singh’s three year old record
With the haul of 5 wickets for just 10 runs against the Pakistani women’s team, Deepti Sharma has now become the best bowler for the Indian women’s team in a match in the history of T20 World Cup. In this matter, Deepti has broken the three-year-old record of Renuka Singh, who had taken 5 wickets for 15 runs against England in the 2023 T20 World Cup. Deepti Sharma also remembered Hanuman ji after winning the Player of the Match award, in which she said that I like bowling on this kind of pitch. Full credit for this performance goes to the team. Hanuman ji is great. I like ICC tournaments because that’s where I started. The ball was turning quite well on this pitch, so I varied my pace a bit in each of my overs.
