In a historic match at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai, the Indian women’s cricket team etched their name in the annals of history by defeating England with a resounding 347-run margin, marking England’s first-ever Test loss on Indian soil. This monumental victory, the team’s third against England, surpasses all records for the largest win in women’s Test cricket.
The last time India secured a Test win was nine years ago, and their remarkable performance in this 40th Test match reflects the team’s prowess. The match unfolded with India declaring their second innings at 186 for six wickets, setting England an imposing target of 479 runs. England’s valiant effort crumbled as they were bowled out for 131 runs, succumbing to the outstanding performances of Deepti Sharma, who claimed the title of Man of the Match.
While India’s victory is undeniable, some skeptics question England’s performance, attributing the defeat to potential shortcomings rather than solely crediting India’s exceptional play.
