New Delhi: India registered their fourth straight win in the ongoing ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup with a 16-run victory over Sri Lanka on Wednesday at Derby, England. Both batsmen and bowlers did well, but one aspect of the game which Indian fans would like to celebrate was Sushma Verma’s stumpings.
She effected two stumpings, those of Nipuni Hansika and Dilani Manodara off the bowling of Poonam Yadav and Deepti Sharma. In the 24th over, Hansika came out to take on Poonam, but the Lankan opener missed the line of the ball and ended up losing her wicket, thanks to a lightening quick stumping from the Indian wicket-keeper.
