Getting perry

ODI World Cup: India’s off-spin bowling all-rounder Shreyanka Patil said dismissing veteran Ellyse Perry in her 350th international appearance was a ‘very special’ moment for her as the visitors sealed a 2-1 T20I series win in the multi-format fixtures against Australia at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide.

Shreyanka took 3-22, including taking out Ellyse, as India defended a competitive 176/6 by restricting Australia to 159/9 and earned a 17-run win to pick two more points. The result also meant India got a women’s T20I series win in Australia after ten years.

“When I see my hands and revs going in a certain way, I kind of get that confidence, and today I did feel that, and getting that wicket will absolutely boost your confidence. What actually made me happier was getting Pez’s wicket, and that made me feel very special because it was her 350th match, and I getting her wicket is what she and me will remember for sure,” said Shreyanka in the post-match press conference.
