Women’s T20 WC: Charani Picks 4-19 As India Register Comprehensive 95-run Win Over Netherlands
T20 World Cup: India’s bowlers, led by N Sree Charani’s 4-19, delivered a ruthless performance to seal a 95‑run victory over the Netherlands in their 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup group clash at Headingley on Wednesday. With the win, India are now on top of the Group A table, with a net run rate of 3.98, which is 0.10 more than that of Australia.
Half‑centuries from Smriti Mandhana (74) and Shafali Verma (55), followed by late fireworks from Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma, carried India to 209/5, their highest in Women’s T20 World Cup history. The bowlers, led by Charani’s four-for and Shafali Verma’s 3-20, ensured it was never threatened as they bowled out the Netherlands for 114 in 17.3 overs.
India will also hope that nothing is too serious with off-spin bowling all-rounder Shreyanka Patil, who was stretchered off the field after twisting her right ankle. Defending a massive 209, India had to bide their time for a breakthrough as Heather Siegers and Phebe Moleknboer hit six boundaries between themselves.
