An in-form India would look to carry forward the momentum of a historic ODI series sweep in England while trying to put behind the "Mankad" controversy as they open their women's Asia Cup campaign against Sri Lanka on Saturday. The Indian women haven't had a lot of success of late in the T20 format but at the continental level, Harmanpreet Kaur's team will start as clear favourites.
A day after putting up a detailed post on Twitter about how her bag was stolen from her room at a London hotel, Indian women's cricket team player Taniya Bhatia has once again slammed the concerned hotel for not responding to her complaint. "I still haven't recd any response from the hotel management. This is quite disappointing. The items that were stolen from my room were both valuable and important to me. Has any action been taken since the theft? An update would be much appreciated," Taniya wrote on Twitter.
The Indian women's cricket team ended its tour of England on a triumphant note as it beat the hosts 3-0 in the ODI series. There has been a lot of controversy since the last match at Lord's where India's Deepti Sharma ran out England's Charlotte Dean at the non-striker's end. While that debate continues to rage on social media, Indian team member Taniya Bhatia on Monday took to Twitter to inform her followers about someone stealing her bag from her hotel room in London.
Riding on her stupendous show against England, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Tuesday jumped four spots to reach the fifth spot in the ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings. She leads a bunch of India players who have made rapid gains in the rankings after the team's 3-0 sweep over England. Kaur smashed a match-winning 143 not out off 111 deliveries in the second match in Canterbury. Opener Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma have also moved up in the latest update that considers performances in the last two matches of that series as well as the IWC series between the West Indies and New Zealand.
Charlie Dean's run-out at the hands of Deepti Sharma at the non-striker's end because she was backing up too far ahead when the ball was not even delivered, has garnered some real attention and the cricket fraternity continues to be divided on whether it is within the spirit of the game. The incident took another turn on Monday after Deepti Sharma revealed that Team India had given Dean a warning, and when she chose to venture out of her crease repeatedly, they decided to run her out.
The third and final ODI between England Women and India Women witnessed high drama and the match came to an end on a rather controversial note after all-rounder Deepti Sharma ran Charlie Dean out at the non-striker's end as she was backing up too far ahead when the ball was not even delivered out of Deepti's hand. However, this dismissal has once again hogged the limelight, dividing the cricket fraternity and many are questioning whether this mode of dismissal is keeping with the "spirit of cricket".
England cricketer Charlotte Dean on Monday broke her silence on her controversial run-out in the match against India saying she will stay in the crease from now on. In the third and final ODI at the Lord's Cricket Ground, Deepti Sharma had run Dean out at the non-striker's end after the batter was backing up too far ahead when the ball was not even released out from the bowler's hand.
India women defeated England women in the third and final ODI at Lord's to clean sweep the series 3-0. It was the last international match for legendary pacer Jhulan Goswami but it was India's Deepti Sharma who hogged more limelight in the game. The all-rounder had run out England batter Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end during her bowling. The fall of Dean's wicket saw England being bundled out for 153 runs and India thus won the tight match by a margin of 16 runs.
