ICC Women's World Cup 2017: India vs South Africa, 5 things that went wrong for Mithali Raj's side

#3 Mithali Raj's golden duck

Mithali Raj walks off after being dismissed for a golden duck

In a game where everyone thought Mithali Raj would break the 6000 run barrier and in the process become the highest run-getter in women's cricket, it turned out to be a flop show. Chasing 274, Raj came to the crease after Poonam Raut threw away her wicket with a wild slog.

Raj was up against her counterpart, van Niekerk and the South African captain castled Raj with a straight delivery. Raj had left a gap between her bat and pad and the ball skidded off the wicket and hit her off stump. Sadly, this was the first golden duck of Raj’s illustrious career.
