ICC Women’s World Cup 2017: India vs New Zealand, 5 things India did right to win the virtual quarter-final

#5 Rajeshwari Gayakwad’s fifer

Gayakwad was also named the player of the match for her heroics

The slow left-arm bowler was playing her first match of the World Cup, one which was a virtual quarter-final for her team, and she grabbed the opportunity with both hands. The Karnataka player came in to bowl in the eleventh over with three of the NZ batswomen already back in the dressing room.

However, she did not get complacent and in the fourth over of her spell picked her first wicket. She, then, picked one wicket each in the subsequent four over of her spells and absolutely owned the NZ batting batswomen.
