By November 16, 2018 No Comments

India qualified for the ICC Women’s World T20 semi-finals, in which they registered their third successive win in Group B match on Thursday with a 52-runs win over Ireland. On 17th November, they will now face Australia for their final league in a match that will decide who tops the Group B. Chasing the target of 146 runs on a slow track, Ireland could score only 93/8 in 20 overs.

Experienced Indian opener Mithali Raj at Providence Stadium in Guyana scored her 17th half century making a positive win with a score of 51 runs in 56 balls hitting 4 fours and 1 six. With 67 runs of partnership, Mithali Raj and Smriti Mandhana managed to give India a good start. While the Irish bowlers managed to stop India at 145/6.

Ireland also started with some fluency from Clare Shillington gave India a solid opening and crossed 1,000 T20 runs with a second consecutive score in the 20s, but Indian bowlers were also efficient in picking up wickets likewise Radha Yadav 3/25 (4), Deepti Sharma 2/15 (3), Poonam Yadav 1/14 (4) and Harmanpreet Kaur 1/10 (4).

Indian Women’s team reaches semi-final for the first time in World T20 since 2010.

All the Indians fans right now:

Mithali Raj is the player of the Match who swept all the limelight. It seems that Team India is ready for its next fixtures and will not let any moment go out of their hands.
Mandhana, the opening batsman, also said that the team will look at the next game as “just another match” and will not put themselves below any unnecessary pressure.
