Women’s T20 WC: Deepti's Five‑wicket Haul Made Up For India’s Couple Of Missed Chances, Says Shreyanka
T20 World Cup: India’s off-spin bowling all‑rounder Shreyanka Patil admitted there were ‘a couple of missed chances’ in the field, but said Deepti Sharma’s career-best figures of 5-10 compensated for it, as the side registered a commanding 64‑run victory over Pakistan in their 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup opener at Edgbaston.
In the match, Shreyanka had registered the figures of 0-17, including a tidy opening over where she got enough turn and bounce. She could have got the wicket of Muneeba Ali in the powerplay if not for her being dropped twice. Shreyanka, though, produced a stunning moment by diving to her right and took a wonderful catch of Rameen Shamim at backward point.
"I've always enjoyed bowling in the powerplay, whether it's for my state team or for India. It's amazing to bowl under pressure because that's what I love doing, and it's something I've successfully done in the past. It was fun bowling to a left‑hander. We had a couple of missed chances, but Deepti's five‑wicket haul made up for it all,” said Shreyanka on JioStar.
