India Women's all-rounder Deepti Sharma has shared insights into her stellar bowling performance against Pakistan in the Women's Asia Cup 2024. The 26-year-old cricketer, who hails from Agra, secured three wickets in her four-over spell, conceding only 20 runs.

In the post-match presentation, Sharma expressed her delight with the outcome and credited the team's game plan and training camps for their success. 'I felt great and it worked out according to plan. Bowled in the right areas. As a unit, we are doing very well, having camps has helped us a lot. I worked on my bowling after the South Africa series which helped. She is a good batter and it brings a lot of satisfaction when you get a batter like that,' she said.

Pakistan, after opting to bat first, struggled to build momentum as wickets kept tumbling. Noteworthy contributions came from Sidra Ameen, Tuba Hassan, and Fatima Sana. Deepti Sharma was the standout bowler for India, supported by Shreyanka Patil and Renuka Singh. In the chase, India began with an 85-run partnership between Shafali Varma and Smriti Mandhana, eventually clinching a seven-wicket win with 35 balls to spare.
