India beat Pakistan by 64 runs in a Women’s T20 World Cup match at Edgbaston, with Deepti Sharma delivering a decisive bowling performance. Multiple outlets report that Sharma takes 5 wickets for 10 runs from 4 overs, including a spell described as a triple-wicket burst, as Pakistan are restricted despite their role as rivals in the tournament opener. Earlier in the match, India post a competitive total, supported by contributions including Smriti Mandhana and Richa Ghosh, according to one report. The five-for is described as a career-best for Sharma and also as a world-record achievement: one outlet says she becomes the highest wicket-taker in Women’s T20 Internationals, while another frames it as a world record for her match figures. A separate report adds that Sharma later equals Jhulan Goswami’s all-time record for the most women’s international wickets during India’s second Group A match against the Netherlands at Leeds, taking 1/26 in three overs.
