She came in at No. 7 and slammed an unbeaten 40-ball 63 against Pakistan. Her innings was studded with nine fours and a single highest.

While Healy demonstrated her purpose with the bat, others also stepped up and performed brilliantly in their respective matches.

India lost two early wickets at Smriti Mandhana and Punam Raut. Sharma and Mithali obtained together after the fall of Raut’s wicket and also they needed to build the innings. The duo maintained the scorecard ticking and helped India regain momentum in the game.

Sharma completed her first time fifty and stepped on the accelerator. She dropped for a nicely played 110-ball 78, hitting 10 fours in her innings. Mithali could not continue for long as she fell three overs later as well. The India captain’s innings was stitched with four boundaries.
