While the Indian Women’s team unfortunately isn’t having the best of outings in Australia, our domestic players are absolutely ruling the roost back home. It’s been an action-packed week, and here we are bringing you all of it.

Senior Women’s One Day Trophy

Sajana Sajeevan (Kerala): It’s been her week. A fifer with the ball against Arunachal Pradesh, followed by an economical spell with against Mumbai in a high-scoring game, and then a 1/31 (8 overs) spell against Assam. She’s upping her game, and how!

Saika Ishaque (Bengal): Opening the bowling for Bengal, she was absolutely unplayable in the game against Pondicherry. Her spell of 1/15 in nine overs set up the game to restrict them for just 119. She went a step ahead against Rajasthan in the following game, 2/16 in her ten overs, while defending a small total of 149, successfully.

Jintimani Kalita (Assam): Two tidy spells in her two games this week – 1/48 against Odisha and 1/17 against Nagaland, both resulting in wins for her side.

Keerthana SB (Tamil Nadu): You expect her to star with the ball, which she did, but her standout performance this week came with the bat. But sadly for her, it ended in a heartbreak for Tamil Nadu. So Keerthana played a lone hand in the chase of 181 against Chhattisgarh, with a 78-ball 53 as the rest of the line-up folded quite quickly. But unfortunately, in the last over, with just runs needed to win, she ended up getting run-out.

India Women’s tour of Australia

Harmanpreet Kaur: It’s been a tough two ODIs against the Aussies for India, but Kaptaan Kaur has been fighting. In the first match where India were all-out for just 100, she tried to hold fort in the middle-order with a 42-ball 23. In the second game, chasing 372, she steadied the ship with after two early wickets with a steady 42-ball 38. The results might not have come, but trust Harman to be determined to turn it around!
