Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh’s superb act behind the wickets helped Asha Sobhana bag her second wicket in the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE. India’s brutal attack had already traumatized the Pakistan batters when Sobhana added to the woes of the arch-rivals.
The final delivery of the 14th over saw Richa making a pheromonal effort behind the stumps to get rid of Farima Sana. The Pakistan captain looked to slog-sweep Sobhana’s delivery but was beaten by the turn. The ball took a fine outside edge of Sana’s bat while Richa stretched her right hand to pouch the ball in her keeping gloves.
