Renuka Singh Shines with Maiden ODI Five-Wicket Haul as India Crush West Indies by 211 Runs
Vadodara (Gujarat), December 23: Indian pacer Renuka Thakur Singh delivered a career-best performance, claiming her maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs, as India Women crushed West Indies by 211 runs in the first ODI of the series at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, on Sunday.
The massive victory not only gave the Women in Blue an early series lead but also highlighted the team’s dominance in both batting and bowling departments.
After the match, Renuka Singh expressed her joy over her five-wicket achievement and credited her success to fitness and focus.
“Feeling very good. First five-wicket haul in ODIs and I am happy because everyone backed me so much to get that. I have worked a lot on my fitness and could bowl eight overs on the trot, and that proves my fitness. The wicket was helping us, and the colder weather added to the swing. I just wanted to hit the right areas, and I got assistance from the pitch,” Renuka told ESPNcricinfo.
Winning the toss, West Indies opted to field first, but the decision backfired as India’s openers capitalized on the opportunity.
West Indies’ run chase faltered under the relentless Indian bowling attack.
This commanding victory sets a strong tone for India Women in the ODI series, with both bat and ball showcasing their prowess on the field.
