Jemimah Rodrigues' 76-run knock and bowlers helped India's women's cricket team defeat Sri Lanka by 41 runs in their first Women's Asia Cup 2022 tie at Sylhet Outer Cricket Stadium on Saturday
Jemimah Rodrigues' 76-run knock and bowlers helped India women's cricket team defeat Sri Lanka by 41 runs in their first Women's Asia Cup 2022 tie at Sylhet Outer Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
While Ranasinghe (3/32) troubled Indian batters from one end, Jemimah kept one end steady with her brilliant 76 off 53 balls and even had a 92-run stand with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (33)
India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur showed her support to the Indian all-rounder and said that whatever they had done was under the rules and it was not planned.
She leads a bunch of Indian players who have made rapid gains in the rankings after some excellent performances that helped complete a 3-0 sweep over England
Earlier in the day, Deepti Sharma said that it was a plan, but one that was developed only after numerous warnings to Dean, who stopped in the middle of her bowling motion and pulled off the bails at the non-striker's end to complete a 3-0 sweep of England.
This was first done by Indian cricket legend Vinoo Mankad during 1947-48 during India's tour of Australia by running out Australia's Bill Brown at non-striker's end, which earned it the name 'Mankading'.
