New Delhi, May 16 (UNI) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today congratulated the Indian Women’s Cricket team for their outstanding performance in the ongoing Women’s Quadrangular Series in South Africa. India openers Deepti Sharma and Poonam Raut yesterday scripted history after they became the first pair to share a 300-run stand in Women’s ODIs. The partnership was decorated by Raut’s knock of 108 while Deepti smashed a scintillating 188 runs. The partnership is now the highest ever in ODI women cricket history. BCCI acting Hony Secretary Amitabh Choudhary said in a statement, “The Indian women’s team are on a record-breaking spree in the Women’s Quadrangular Series and I congratulate them for their all-round show.” “It started with Jhulan Goswami becoming the leading wicket taker in Women’s ODIs and we have witnessed a plethora of records,” added Choudhary. Notably, after four wins from four matches, team India is now the only unbeaten side in the tournament with wins over South Africa, Ireland (twice) and Zimbabwe.UNI
