Women’s Asia Cup: Harmanpreet's 66, Richa's Unbeaten 64 Carry India To 201/5 Against UAE
Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium: Captain Harmanpreet Kaur hit her 12th T20I fifty, while wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh got her first half-century in the format to carry India to a massive 201/5 against UAE in their second 2024 Women’s Asia Cup match at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
On a fresh pitch with wind blowing across, India were in early trouble after losing three wickets in power-play. But Harmanpreet’s 66 off 47 balls, laced with seven fours and a six, steadied India’s ship. It was followed by Richa applying perfect finishing touches with a whirlwind 64 not out off 29 balls, laced with 12 fours and a six, including hitting 37 runs off the last two overs.
Harmanpreet and Richa added 75 runs off 45 balls for the fifth wicket stand, as India made a 200+ total for the first time in women’s T20Is. Their score of 201/5 is now the highest ever score in the history of Women's Asia Cup in T20 format, surpassing the 181/4 which was also hit by India against Malaysia in 2022.
