Pooja Vastrakar ruled out of T20 series vs Australia, uncapped Anjali Sarvani in; Devika Vaidya makes comeback | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: India allrounder Pooja Vastrakar was ruled out due to an injury as selectors on Friday picked promising uncapped left-arm pacer Anjali Sarvani for the upcoming five-match T20I series against Australia beginning on December 9 in Mumbai. Pooja, who led India C team in the Women's T20 Challenger in Raipur, was "ruled out owing to an injury and was not considered for selection," said a statement issued by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. The 25-year-old Andhra left-arm medium pacer Anjali impressed with her tidy bowling display in Poonam Yadav-led India A's runners-up finish in the Women's Challenger earlier last month. Anjali was exceptional against India D and finished with figures of 2 for 11 from her three overs to clinch them a final spot. Overall, she bagged three wickets from four...

Women’s Asia Cup: Dominant India Women crush Thailand Women by 74 runs to enter final | Cricket News – Times of India

SYLHET: A dominant India crushed minnows Thailand by 74 runs to storm into the final and remain on course for a record-extending seventh women's Asia Cup title here on Thursday. The win over Thailand took India to their eighth straight Asia Cup final -- four each in ODI and T20 formats. Before 2012, the tournament was a 50-over-a-side affair. The semifinal contest against Thailand was always expected to be a cakewalk for India and it turned out to be so.

Women’s Asia Cup: India end group league campaign with crushing 9-wicket win over Thailand | Cricket News – Times of India

SYLHET: The Indian bowlers hardly broke sweat to dismiss minnows Thailand for a paltry 37 before knocking off the runs in just six overs with nine wickets in hand to top the seven-team group league in the Women's Asia Cup, here on Monday. The emphatic win was India's fifth victory in six games, with the only defeat coming in a low-scoring match against arch-rivals Pakistan. India have 10 points from six games and are expected to be joined by Pakistan, Sri Lanka and one among Thailand and Bangladesh in the semifinals. Bangladesh have a match left and they need to just win it to enjoy a better net run-rate (+0.423 after 5 games) over Thailand (-0.949 in 6 games).

Batting experiment backfired: Harmanpreet on India’s loss to Pakistan | Cricket News – Times of India

SYLHET: India women's team skipper Harmanpreet Kaur on Friday blamed their shock loss to Pakistan on rejigged batting order, saying the decision to give batters enough game time before next year's T20 World Cup backfired. India suffered only their third loss to arch-rivals Pakistan when Harmanpreet's side choked for 124 in their modest chase of 138 in the Women's Asia Cup here. "It was a chaseable target. In the middle overs, we were not able to take singles and rotate the strike. We played too many dot balls," Harmanpreet said at the post-match presentation. Opener Shafali Verma continued to be rested, while Harmanpreet returned to lead the side only to bat way down at No 7 as India continued to experiment in the lead up to the T20 World Cup in South Africa next year. "I think in the m...

Asia Cup: Struggling Shafali Verma in focus as India take on Malaysia | Cricket News – Times of India

SYLHET: Shafali Verma couldn't have asked for an easier opponent to regain her mojo as a confident India get ready to maul Malaysia in their second T20 match of the women's Asia Cup here on Monday. The game should serve as net session for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co against a Malaysian side that was thrashed by Pakistan by nine wickets in its opener. After a comfortable win against Sri Lanka, scripted by Jemimah Rodrigues, the less experienced Indian players are expected to get some game time as the team prepares for the T20 World Cup in South Africa early next year. Shafali, who has endured a dismal run, would want to come out all guns blazing and may take this opportunity to try an alternate batting approach as her natural game has not been yielding success off late. The 18-year-old has n...

3rd ODI: India whitewash England in Jhulan Goswami’s last waltz | Cricket News – Times of India

LONDON: A fairy-tale ending befitting her glorious career marked Jhulan Goswami's last waltz as India Women beat England by 16 runs in the third and final ODI to record their first clean sweep in this country. That the feat was achieved at the Mecca of Cricket -- Lord's -- made it doubly satisfying. Sent into bat, India were all out for a paltry 169, and at that point it looked like the tourists may have fallen many runs short of making the match a memorable one for their legendary seamer, who is calling it quits after two decades of incredible service to the game.

Navgire set for debut as India look to address finishing woes in T20Is vs England | Cricket News – Times of India

CHESTER-LE-STREET: The focus will be on the Indian women team's finishing woes with the bat when it takes on England in the first of the three T20 Internationals on Friday. After the loss in the final of the Commonwealth Games to Australia, India's second wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia was axed at the expense of some bold inclusions in uncapped Kiran Prabhu Navgire and Dayalan Hemalatha, both power-hitters. Maharashtra batter Navgire, who plays for Nagaland, hogged the limelight with her record 162 not out against Arunachal Pradesh in the Senior T20 Trophy earlier this year, after which she was roped in by the Velocity squad for the T20 Challenge. Navgire showed her power-hitting abilities by smashing the fastest fifty in the T20 Challenge in May, and it remains to be seen if she is picked...

CWG 2022: India get Pooja Vastrakar boost ahead of must-win tie against Barbados | Commonwealth Games 2022 News – Times of India

Fresh off the morale-boosting eight-wicket win over Pakistan, India will be further boosted by the arrival of their star allrounder Pooja Vastrakar, who has recovered from Covid-19 as the team guns for a semifinal berth when they take on Barbados in a do-or-die match of the women's T20 competition. This is the first time India will play under lights in the event. The winner will go through to the last four. Vastrakar and batter S Meghana had tested positive for Covid-19 but have joined the squad now. While Meghana played against Pakistan, it will be interesting to see if Vastrakar is fielded against Barbados.

IND vs AUS in CWG 2022: Pooja Vastrakar floats ‘killing attitude’ idea, team adopts it before Aussie game

The last time India Women played tournament cricket in England, chaos ensued as they lost seven wickets inside 35 deliveries and lost the 2017 World Cup final at Lord’s by a mere nine runs. The last time they played tournament cricket anywhere was four months ago at the 2022 World Cup when a no-ball in the last over of the chase helped South Africa eliminate the 2017 runner-ups. The two results saw the team crumble under pressure in the dying moments of a big match. As they walk into another major tournament, at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, captain Harmanpreet Kaur has assured that the side has put in effort to forge a “killing attitude.” “Before the Sri Lanka tour, we had a players-only meeting.
