Women’s Asia Cup: I Executed What We Prepared For The Match, Says Renuka Singh Thakur
Renuka Singh Thakur: Fast bowler Renuka Singh Thakur, who set the base for India’s ten-wicket thrashing of Bangladesh in the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup semifinal, credited her superlative performance to executing the plans prepared a day before Friday’s clash.
Renuka’s Power-play burst of 3-10, where she bowled four straight overs, and stuck to good lines and lengths while offering no freebies, was instrumental in India restricting Bangladesh to 80/8. She also became the third fast-bowler for India to complete 50 women’s T20I wickets.
"I am very happy. It was a big match for us and to do well is a good feeling. The idea is to work on the basics. I executed what we prepared yesterday. Got a lot of help from the wind blowing across. I like bowling with the new ball and got to bowl my spell early. I was happy with all my wickets because you get rewarded for your work," said Renuka, who got the Player of the Match award, after the game ended.
