At the DY Patil Sports Academy, Richa brought out fireworks to enthrall more than 47,204 fans by smashing three fours and five sixes in her unbeaten 21-ball 54. Her blazing knock, coupled with captain Smriti Mandhana\u2019s 77 powered India to 217\/4, which is now their highest total ever in women\u2019s T20Is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It has easily eclipsed India\u2019s previous best T20I total of 201\/5, which came against the UAE at the Women\u2019s Asia Cup in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, in July this year. Richa came out to bat after Smriti fell for 77, her third straight fifty of the series and 30th half-century overall in T20Is, which took her past Suzie Bates\u2019 record of 29 fifties in the format.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Richa was immediately off the blocks by lofting her first ball for a six off Deandra Dottin and ended the over by slicing her through backward point for four more, before flicking Aaliyah Alleyne for a boundary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
From there, Richa was severe on Deandra, Aaliyah, and Hayley Matthews, before flicking Aaliyah for a six over deep mid-wicket to get a sensational half-century in just 18 balls, equalling the record for fastest T20I half-century alongside New Zealand\u2019s Sophie Devine and Australia\u2019s Phoebe Litchfield.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
