Women’s World Cup: Deepti’s Four-fer Restricts England To 288/8 Despite Knight’s 109
ODI World Cup: In her 300th international game, Heather Knight’s fluent 109 anchored England’s innings, but Deepti Sharma’s incisive four-wicket haul ensured India clawed back in the death overs to restrict the visitors to 288/8 in their crucial 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup clash at the Holkar Stadium on Sunday.
Amy Jones had laid the foundation with a brisk 56 at the top, but it was Heather’s innings that gave England the momentum. Her fourth ODI century, laced with 15 fours and a six, had a blend of precision and aggression.
Her variety of sweep shots, especially toward the shorter square boundary, were a tactical masterstroke – amassing 36 runs off that and left India’s spinners scrambling for answers. Her strike rate of 257.14 while sweeping was a testament to her control and clarity of purpose.
