Deepti received the medal from wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh, who earned this honour in the tournament opener. Importantly, she executed a direct hit to run out Muneeba Ali, who left her crease and, after initially grounding her bat, was dismissed when the throw struck the stumps exactly as her bat was in the air.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Apart from taking 20 wickets, the all-rounder also scored three runs off 45 balls to help India, who posted 247, secure their 12th ODI victory over their arch-rivals Pakistan by bowling them out for 159. \u201cGod is great,\u201d said Deepti in the video posted by bcci.tv on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite India's lacklustre fielding performance, fielding coach Munish Bali praised how Deepti, along with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, delivered a good fielding display.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
