Pratika Rawal slammed her third 50-overs century after Shree Charani recorded career-best figures of 4\/23 as India thrashed Zimbabwe by nine wickets in the opening women’s ODI of their three-match series in Vadodara on Friday.<\/p>\n

Pratika Rawal’s Unbeaten Century Leads India<\/p>\n

After Charani’s exploits helped India bowl out Zimbabwe for a mere 197 on a batting haven, Pratika made the most of her promotion to the opening slot, smacking an unbeaten 100 not out to anchor the chase.<\/p>\n

India went over the line making 200\/1 in 27.1 overs, with their regular opening pair of skipper Smriti Mandhana (32) and vice-captain Shafali Verma (64 not out) also cashing in on the opportunity.<\/p>\n

Pratika’s unbeaten hundred included 15 fours as the right-hander scored at a strike rate of over 100, well above her career strike rate.<\/p>\n

\"Shafali<\/p>\n

Pratika displayed her rich arsenal of strokes, especially along the ground, without taking any unwarranted risks.<\/p>\n

On a benign batting track and against a bowling attack which didn’t pose any particular threat, India got off the blocks quickly and were soon scoring almost 10 runs an over.<\/p>\n

But against the run of play, Mandhana’s wicket fell when she found Beloved Biza at long-on off Olinder Chare in the 16th over, having added 94 for the first wicket.<\/p>\n

Shafali, who dropped down to number three, continued to blaze her way to another big score, clobbering four sixes and five fours to make 64 not out off 33 balls.<\/p>\n

Shree Charani’s Bowling Masterclass<\/p>\n

Earlier, Charani stifled the Zimbabwe batters with her career-best figures as the visitors could only manage 197 all-out despite Biza’s gritty 62.<\/p>\n

Charani broke the back of Zimbabwe’s resolve with wickets at key intervals and, along with Kranti Gaud (3\/42), ensured the visitors did not make the most of a batting-friendly wicket here in Kotambi.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe’s Resilience and India’s Fielding Concerns<\/p>\n

The left-arm spinner accounted for opener Modester Mupachikwa (25) and Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (21) at the top and later dismissed Nyasha Gwanzura (13) and the dangerous-looking Michelle Mavunga (29) to keep India in complete control.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe No. 4 Biza gave a good account of herself, displaying a fine mix of caution and aggression to make 62 off 92 balls with five fours in an innings in which she held one end strongly.<\/p>\n

\"Deepti<\/p>\n

India’s domination in the field was, however, marred by some ordinary fielding once again with a few dropped catches.<\/p>\n

On a Gaud delivery outside off, the left-handed Mugeri-Tiripano went for a drive but edged it behind and wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh failed to grab what was a regulation chance on the penultimate ball of the third over.<\/p>\n

In the eighth over, Mupachikwa went for a swipe at a wide delivery and got an outside edge off Gaud.<\/p>\n

The ball went to Deepti Sharma (2\/44), placed at second slip, but a reverse-cup attempt to grab the ball proved wrong as it popped out of the vice-captain’s hands.<\/p>\n

Later, when Mavunga was garnering quick runs for her side, Gaud failed to hold onto a tough chance at deep midwicket when a powerful hit off Deepti came her way in the 40th over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pratika Rawal’s magnificent unbeaten century and Shree Charani’s career-best bowling figures propelled India to a commanding nine-wicket victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":812105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[266333,266334,266335,1721,308,93658,98360,101429,266338,266336,266337,63943,266339,98817,266332,101,56,54,55,266340,21567,47599],"class_list":["post-812104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-beloved-biza","tag-biza","tag-chipo-mugeri-tiripano","tag-cricket","tag-india","tag-india-women","tag-kranti-gaud","tag-mandhana","tag-michelle-mavunga","tag-modester-mupachikwa","tag-nyasha-gwanzura","tag-odi","tag-pratika-rawal","tag-shafali-verma","tag-shree-charani","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-vadodara","tag-zimbabwe","tag-zimbabwe-women"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=812104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/812105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=812104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=812104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=812104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
