Teen pacer Titas Sadhu is quickly turning out to be the player for big occasions. In January, she set the tone by jolting England’s top-order in India’s win in the U-19 World Cup. Seven months on, the speedster starred in another final as the Women In Blue claimed a maiden Asian Games gold with a 19-run win over Sri Lanka.
Defending a modest 117 at the Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field on Monday, Titas’ pace was too hot to handle for the Sri Lankans. After Deepti Sharma gave away 12 runs in her opening over, Harmanpreet Kaur, returning after the ban, turned to Titas (who is four days shy of her 19th birthday) who obliged her captain with a wicket of the first ball.
