ICC Women's World Cup: Five best spells 

#2 Rajeshwari Gayakwad

Rajeshwari Gayakwad's match winning performance against New Zealand.

The left arm spinner of the Indian team was arguably one of the best slow bowlers in the World Cup.

The 26-year-old was at the forefront of India's campaign against the White Ferns in the virtual quarter finals of the tournament. After warming the bench for the first six matches, Gayakwad was drafted into the squad in place of Ekta Bisht.

The Indian team started this knockout game in commanding fashion with Mithali Raj scoring a match winning hundred. She was well supported by the middle order with useful contributions from Harmanpreet Kaur and Veda Krishnamurthy.

A complete batting performance from the Indian team resulted in a huge total of 267 runs in the first innings.

Despite the massive total on the board, the White Ferns have tremendous depth in their batting department which meant the Indian team ought to pick up some early wickets.

With Gayakwad probing the batters with her consistent line and length, the runs seemed hard to come. The pressure of the steeping run rate got the better of the batters as they tried to attack her but only managed to throw away their wickets.

The Bijapur born player picked up five wickets for 15 runs in her seven over spell including the vital wickets of the experienced Amy Satterthwaite and Sophie Devine.

Her exploits with the ball resulted in the White Ferns being bowled out for 79 runs, their lowest score in the history of the World Cup.
