Indian Deepti Sharma stunned the West Indies Chedean Nation with an incredible number at the 2022 ICC Women’s World Cup on 12 March.
After a good chase, the West Indies batsmen were sent back to the lodge by Indian bowlers. But the most incredible scene was Deepti Sharma’s escape when ICC’s social media account shared the video that took the internet by storm.
In the West Indies 36th, batting Shakera Selmon sent the ball into the slender leg. At the end of the non-striker was the slow-running Chedean Nation. Versatile Deepti Sharma, sane and with the help of Meghna Singh, saw Smith napping as she ran the second run and threw the ball into the wickets and kicked her out. Netizens hailed Deepti Sharma on this escape.

“We both contributed to the score past 300, we both deserved it” – Smriti Mandhana
With the help of centuries of Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet, he hit a whopping 317 on the Indian 50. Chasing the target West Indies fell short of 155 runs as they packed for 162 runs. India pushed the West Indies aside, increasing their net run rates following the defeat at the hands of home team New Zealand, in addition to winning their second game. India will play their next match against England on 16 March at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
During the post-match presentation, Smriti Mandhana (123) He shared the Player of the Match award with Harmanpreet Kaur, who also scored 109 points, and explained the reasons for this.
“I don’t think anyone would want to score a century and not be the player of the match. I think we both contributed to the score to get over 300 and it’s nice to share the trophy, both deserve it. I think as a batter we prefer both (target spotting and chasing), your throw will not go the way you want, and you will not get what you want.” Said Mandhana.
Our strengths are really different, Kaur is very good at spinning and I love the pace of the ball, we know, and when the spinner came bowling, I would give the shot back to Harman and he did the same while he was there. A pacer was coming. I’m sure ICC will give another trophy and they have enough budget to do it (with a big smile on their face).”
