Women World Cup, first week, Round up wonder woman

 Women World Cup, first week, Round up wonder woman.

Obviously, India went in as favorites ahead of this game and that's just stating the obvious.Because with this game, India has extended their record to 11 wins out of 11 games against Pakistan.Obviously, India and Pakistan play each other frequently.We saw so many brilliant individual performances from Pakistan players as well.

India won the toss and since it was an already used pitch at Bay Oval, they had no second thoughts about batting first.

This World Cup is being played in 5-6 different venues.So, a few teams will be assigned to start their initial few games in the same venue.

So, India played at an already used pitch at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.So, obviously, it was a good decision to bat first after winning the toss.Mount Maunganui has always been helpful for slow bowlers despite New Zealand having featherbeds for batting.

Despite winning the toss, India lost Shafali Verma early.

When the accelerator in Shafali Verma got out cheaply, India steadied its ship thanks to the partnership between The Usual Suspects, Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma.

Both Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma are crucial components of our team.Smriti Mandhana is a tall, elegant player. She plays front of the wicket, and uses her feet too.Whereas, Deepti Sharma plays the sweep and the cut shot really well.She is more of a square of the wicket player.

And since both of them are left-handers, they take the left-arm spinners out of the equation from most of the teams and these left-arm spinners play a crucial factor in this competition.Australia has Jess Jonassen and England has Sophie Ecclestone. Both of them are quality left-arm spinners.

So, if this left-hand combo partnership of Smriti and Deepti gel well consistently, then the chances of Team India going deep into the competition are very high.

In fact, the ex-Indian coach, who is currently doing commentary, also pointed out that since she was playing the same shot many times, she eventually paid the price by getting out to the left-arm spinner.

You might wonder how I watched the match when I must have been busy playing. Hotstar has a beautiful highlights package, guys. Plus, I saw almost the full game.
I was following the match in Hostar from early morning until I left for the ground and once I came back, I continued following the game.

In fact, the full match was running throughout in our dressing room as well.Anyway, Smriti Mandhana got out to left-arm spin as well, trying to chip one but it went to the fielder.

The highly celebrated Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur couldn't steady the ship when we had a mini collapse.Even the big hitter Richa Ghosh played a bad shot and got out cheaply.

India excellent team:

And India were in deep trouble thanks to the 'middle-order muddle'I already asked you guys to watch out for Sneh Rana in my preview. She has faced so many obstacles in her life when she left the team and has now joined back after a hiatus.
She provides a different level variety to this side with her off-spinning all-round skills. Deepti Sharma is an off-spinner, but left-hand bat, Whereas, Sneh Rana is an off-spinner and right-hand bat.

Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar came together for a partnership. Pooja Vastrakar is more known for his bowling skills than her batting skills.
She has always been a power-packed dynamite player. Her back foot punches and cut shots were delightful to watch.
