Jemimah Rodrigues racked up a second player-of-the-match award in the space of three games as India overpowered the UAE in the Women’s Asia Cup in Bangladesh.
The young batting star made a rapid 75 not out to extinguish UAE’s hopes of an upset, after the national team had hinted at doing just that with a fast start.
Chaya Mughal took a wicket with the fifth ball of the match. When Mahika Gaur followed with one of her own, and Esha Oza and Kavisha Kumari combined for a run out, India were 20-3.
What followed was a show of class by Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma (64). The duo shared a 128-run stand for the fourth wicket in 13 and a half overs, to take the game out of UAE’s reach.
