India’s off-spinner Sneh Rana delivered a remarkable performance against South Africa, claiming the second-best bowling figures by an Indian in Women’s Tests. Her spell of 25.3-4-77-8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai dismantled the South African batting lineup, setting a new benchmark since Neetu David’s memorable 1995 feat.

Record breaking spell

Sneh Rana’s exceptional figures of 8 wickets for 77 runs put India in a commanding position against South Africa, dismissing them for 266 in 84.3 overs. This achievement places her alongside Indian greats like Gargi Banerjee, Diana Edulji, and Shubhangi Kulkarni, who have also left indelible marks in Women’s Test cricket history.

Rana’s achievements to follow

Rana’s pivotal contributions followed India’s imposing first-innings total of 603/6 declared, fueled by Smriti Mandhana’s 149 and Shafali Verma’s blistering 205. Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Richa Ghosh also contributed with brisk half-centuries, propelling India to a commanding lead of 337 runs and enforcing the follow-on on South Africa. Rana’s early breakthroughs and pivotal dismissals, including that of Marizanne Kapp, ensured India’s dominance in the match.
