India pacer Renuka Singh Thakur ran through the Australian top-order in the first match of Commonwealth Games Women’s Cricket Competition 2022 in Birmingham.
Chasing a 155-run target, Australia were reduced to 34/4 in the fifth over as Thakur picked potentially match-winning bowling figures of 4-0-18-4.
Coming in to bat at No. 4 in the third over, Australia all-rounder Tahlia McGrath was part of a top-order collapse returning to the pavilion after scoring 14 (8) with the help of three fours.
Playing her 10th Women’s T20I, McGrath got out only for the second time in fifth innings after playing on a Thakur delivery on to her stumps.
Readers must note that McGrath’s 261 T20I runs have come at an average and strike rate of 130.50 and 157.22 respectively. It is due to an outstanding start to her career that McGrath is preferred ahead of senior all-rounder Ellyse Perry in this format.
