Although the hosts India Women suffered a big defeat against New Zealand Women in the second WODI match of the three-match series, Radhav Yadav’s all-round performances impressed the Indian cricket fans. During that game, she created a new record that none of the other players recorded in the WODI history.

Trailing the series by 1-0, New Zealand Women captain Sophie Devine chose to bat first at Ahmedabad. After the openers provided a good start with an 87-run partnership between Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer, captain Sophie Devine played an important innings. While Bates scored 58, Plimmer scored 41 runs.

In the middle-order, while Maddy Green scored 42 runs, skipper Devine scored 79 off 86 balls with seven fours and one six. Their batting helped New Zealand Women score 259/9 in 50 overs.

Radha Yadav took crucial wickets with the ball

Among the Indian bowlers, Radha Yadav was the best, as the left-arm spinner had bowling figures of 10-0-69-4. She took the crucial wickets of Bates, Green, and Devine before dismissing Lea Tahuhu (0).

Radha Yadav stunned with her great catches

Apart from her bowling, Radha also had a significant contribution with her fielding, as she took three catches, including two incredible and unforgettable catches. 

 

 

 

Radha Yadav scored the highest runs in India Women innings

In reply, once again, the Indian top-order batters struggled. Although most got starts, they failed to convert those into good scores. India Women were once struggling at the hopeless position of 108/8. Once again, Radha Yadav played an important role as she had a 70-run partnership with Saima Thakor.

While India Women were all out for 183 runs and lost by 76 runs, Radha and Saima were the top two scorers of that innings. While Radha scored 48 runs, Saima scored 29 runs. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur (24) was the other Indian to reach the 20-run mark in that innings.

The White Ferns captain Sophie Devine once again shined in that innings as she was the best bowler for her team with the bowling figures of 7.1-0-27-3. Lea Tahuhu (3/42) was the other bowler to claim three wickets in that innings. 

Although India Women lost the match, Radha Yadav became the first cricketer in WODI history to score at least 40 runs, pick up at least four wickets, and take a minimum of three catches in a WODI match.

Talking about scoring 30 runs, picking up three wickets, and taking three catches in the same WODI match, Radha became the second player. New Zealand cricketer Suzie Bates was the first player in this record book with 82 runs, three wickets, and three catches against England Women at Taunton in August 2007.
