Coming to defend 163 against a potent Barbados batting unit, Renuka Singh Thakur got them off to a perfect start they would have liked. Thakur, who has been in impressive form in the competition, dismissed their top three – Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews, and Kycia Knight – in her opening three overs to reduce Barbados to 19/3.
Then she continued to sparkle in the four-over spell, outfoxing Aaliyah Alleyne with another peach to send their oppponents on the back foot from which they never recovered. As a result, Barbados finished on 62/8, and Thakur’s fantastic figures of 4-0-10-4, helped India win by 100 runs to advance to the next round.
Here are Thakur’s all four wickets, shared by Sony Sports Network:
