India had yet another poor outing in New Zealand to their preparation for the women's World Cup. In the 4th ODI, India lost the rain-affected match by 63 runs while chasing 192 in 20 overs. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Richa Ghosh had a memorable day at the John Davies Oval in Queensland as she smacked records during her 52-run knock that went in vain. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Richa came at the crease with the score reading 19\/4 in 4.4 overs and smashed the fastest fifty by an Indian woman in ODIs as she crossed the 50-run mark in 26 balls. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 18-year-old overcame Veda Krishnamurthy's four-year-old record of a 32-ball fifty against South Africa in 2018. It was also the fastest ODI fifty scored in Women's ODI played in New Zealand; the previous record was of Amelia Kerr which interestingly was also made in this match only in 28 balls. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ghosh now has the seventh fastest fifty in Women's ODIs. Deandra Dottin has the record of fastest fifty in WODIs - 20 balls vs Sri Lanka in 2013. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
