Deepti Sharma grew to become the joint-second highest wicket-taker in Girls’s T20Is through the third match in opposition to England Girls, going down on the Oval in London on Friday.
The all-rounder picked up her 144th wicket in WT20Is to share the second spot with former Pakistan captain Nida Dar — Megan Schutt, a former Australian pacer, leads the listing with 151 scalps.
Deepti can be the primary Indian girl to attain the milestone of amassing 100 WT20I wickets. She was joined by compatriot Radha Yadav on this listing after the left-arm spinner took stand-in England skipper Tammy Beaumont’s wicket.
Deepti, 27, made her T20I debut in opposition to Australia in January 2016 — she picked up a wicket and gave 19 runs in her first four-over spell within the shortest format.
Her finest bowling determine is 4 for 10, which she registered in opposition to the West Indies in November 2019.
