NEW DELHI: In a thrilling display of swing bowling, Indian seamer Renuka Singh produced a gem of a delivery to dismiss Pakistan’s opener Gull Feroza in the Women's T20 World Cup match in Dubai on Sunday.
Renuka, known for her ability to swing the ball both ways, bowled a perfect inswinger that left Feroza with no answers as she got out for a duck on the last delivery of the very first over. The ball pitched on a good length, swung in sharply, and hit the stumps with a sweet sound of timber.
Feroza, caught on the crease, could only watch as the bails got removed. Renuka’s precision and control made it a classic delivery, adding a crucial breakthrough for India in the contest.
Earlier, Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana won the toss and opted to bat against India.
India made one change in their playing XI, bringing in off-spinner Sajeevan Sajana in place of medium pacer Pooja Vastrakar, who is dealing with a minor injury, while Pakistan brought leg spinner Syeda Aroob Shahin place of medium pacer Diana Baig.
