Delhi: The fifth and final match of the five-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka will be held in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday. In this match, everyone’s eyes will also be focused on the historical record of Indian team’s star all-rounder Deepti Sharma.

Deepti Sharma can create big history

During this series, Deepti has already completed 150 runs in Women’s T20 International cricket. At present, he has 151 wickets in his name in this format. If she takes even one wicket against Sri Lanka in the last match, she will become the highest wicket-taker in women’s T20 international cricket. Currently, this record is jointly held with Megan Shutt of Australia.

Deepti’s figures prove her continuity

So far, Deepti has taken 151 wickets in 132 T20I matches in 129 innings at an excellent average of 18.94 and economy rate of 6.11. At the same time, Megan has taken the same number of wickets with an average of 17.70 and economy of 6.40. By taking one wicket, Deepti will become the first bowler in the history of women’s T20 cricket to take 152 wickets.

The command of bowling is on Deepti Sharma

Apart from Deepti Sharma, there is only Radha Yadav who has taken more than 100 wickets for India in Women’s T20 International cricket. However, Radha Yadav is not a part of the Indian T20 team at present. In such a situation, the command of the bowling attack seems to be completely on the shoulders of Deepti.

India has already taken an unassailable lead in the series

India has already won the series by winning the first four matches of this five-match series. The Indian team led by Harmanpreet Kaur will now enter the field with the intention of making a complete clean sweep of Sri Lanka by winning the last match.
