Nottingham, June 23 (Ians) Australia women’s cricket team has a new star on their hands in Annabel Sutherland, who smashed a record-breaking ton on Day 2 of their one-off Ashes Test against England Women, here on Friday.
The talented 21-year-old resumed play at Trent Bridge on 39 not out having come in down at number eight in a lengthy Australian batting line-up. And she was still out in the middle midway through the afternoon session as Australia’s innings finally came to an end, with the all-rounder unbeaten on 137 not out.
She followed it up by removing England opener Emma Lamb with an excellent delivery that just left the right-hander and tempted an edge through to second slip.
And speaking after her superb century, Sutherland said it was terrific to get the opportunity to show what she can do.
“It was pretty good fun out there. I absolutely love my batting so...

London, Sep 26 (Ians) Following her run-out from the non-striker’s end inflicted by off-spin all-rounder Deepti Sharma resulting in a dramatic finish to the third Odi between England and India at Lord’s, England all-rounder Charlie Dean tried to fake a dismissal on Northern Diamonds’ Linsey Smith during the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy final at the iconic venue.
In Saturday’s match, which was also legendary pacer Jhulan Goswami’s final game in international cricket, England were looking to get an unbelievable win over India, thanks to Charlie’s batting efforts and her stand of 35 with Freya Davies for the final wicket.
On the fourth ball of the 44th over, Deepti saw Charlie venturing out of the crease at the non-striker’s end while in her delivery stride and knocked the bails off, giving India a 16-run win and 3-0 Odi series sweep over England.

London, Sep 23 (Ians) After sealing an Odi series victory in England after 23 years, India will now be aiming to give a winning send-off to legendary pacer Jhulan Goswami when they face England in the final match at Lord’s on Saturday.
Apart from giving Jhulan a fitting farewell from international cricket, India would want to make the occasion more memorable by securing a historic clean sweep in ODIs on English soil and convert 2-0 lead into 3-0 scoreline.
Saturday’s match at Lord’s will also be the first time both India and England will be playing at the iconic venue since meeting in a thrilling 2017 Odi World Cup final, where the hosts emerged victorious by just nine runs.
It is believed that retiring from international cricket on the field is something which many cricketers don’t get in their lifetime. But for Jhulan, a bonafide legend of the game,...

London, Sep 22 (Ians) Led by Harmanpreet Kaur’s fifth Odi century, India women’s cricket team defeated England by 88 runs in the second Odi at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury to clinch their maiden limited overs series in the country in 23 years.
The Indian skipper registered her second highest Odi score – an unbeaten 111-ball 143, an innings which included 18 boundaries and 4 sixes.
Harmanpreet’s master class hundred powered India to post their all-time second highest total of 333/5, after being put into bat on September 21. England were in control till the end of 40 overs, but a late surge by India turned into a nightmare for England’s young bowling attack.
England got an early breakthrough as Kate Cross cleaned up Shafali Verma cheaply for eight. But Smriti Mandhana and No.3 Yastika Bhatia were quick in recovery. Mandhana didn’t hold back on the attack.

Hove (England), Sep 19 (Ians) Opener Smriti Mandhana, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia struck half-centuries as India Women handed England Women a seven-wicket defeat in the first Odi of the series here on Sunday.
Electing to field the Indian bowlers capitalized on the conditions to restrict England to a modest 227/7 in their allotted 50 overs at the County Ground, here.
The batters then made hay as opener Mandhana top-scored with 91, Harmanpreet remained unbeaten on 74 while Yastika Bhatia struck a 47-ball 50 as India Women reached 232/3 in 44.2 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Mandhana set up the platform for the victory with a superb knock despite losing her partner Shafali Verma (1) early. The score was three runs when Shafali failed to control an uppish flick and was caught by Charlie Dean at mid-wicket off Kate Cross.
Mandhana found a good partner in Yastika as both of them raised 96 runs for the second wicket.
