England W vs India W Live: Stunning Fielding Effort by Team India
Deepti Sharma’s Effort
We got a glimpse of the 1st amazing fielding effort of the innings with many more to follow by the all-rounder Deepti Sharma as she got the English skipper Heather Knight’s wicket. It was run out.
Knight was halfway down the wicket when Deepti Sharma made an amazing effort to stop the ball by diving to her right and throws it back towards the keeper who made sure the bails are off.
After Captain Heather Knight’s wicket, England was 85/3 (11.2 overs).
The next partnership between Natalie Sciver and Amy Jones was getting more dangerous. As both players were hitting the ball toward the boundary. Sciver got her half-century and Jones was few runs away from reaching hers.
