In her fourth match of the Women’s World Cup 2022, Jhulan Goswami created history against England. She became the only woman bowler in history to take 250 ODI wickets by dismissing English opener Tammy Beaumont. But after that his luck did not favor him much. If it had been supported, then today’s match might not have been lost so easily by the Indian team.
The Indian team did not do much with the bat in this match. The entire team was bundled out for 134 runs. After this, India’s bowlers sweated profusely and started creating problems for England. Meghna Singh dismissed Daniel Wyatt for 1 in the first ball of her first over. After this, Jhulan Goswami created history by taking the wicket of Tammy Beaumont on the last ball of the third over.
The British lost 2 wickets for 4 runs in 3 overs. After this, Jhulan Goswami came with the 5th over of the innings. Natalie Sciver was playing on the third ball of this over after scoring 4 runs and a full length delivery from Jhulan went on her stump. But India could not get the wicket because the bails did not fall. The entire team including Jhulan could not believe their luck. ICC shared the video of this incident on social media.
After this, Natalie played an innings of 45 runs and added 65 runs for the second wicket with captain Heather Knight (53 not out) to take the match away from India’s grip. Had luck favored Jhulan Goswami on that occasion, the outcome of this match might have been different. England achieved the target of 135 runs given by India in 31.2 overs for the loss of 6 wickets.
This was England’s first win in the current World Cup after four matches. Earlier, the defending champions had lost three matches in a row. At the same time, this was the second defeat of the Indian team. Earlier, the team was also defeated by New Zealand. India had beaten Pakistan and West Indies in this tournament. India is third and England sixth in the points table. Australia is on the top and Pakistan is at the last ie 8th place.
