NAVI MUMBAI: They had to wait for nine long years before playing a Test at home. But when they did get the opportunity, all the Indian women’s team needed was two days and a morning — seven sessions in all — to thoroughly outclass England by 347 runs in the one-off Test at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday.
It was the biggest-ever victory margin in women’s Tests in terms of runs, breaking the record set in 1998 when Sri Lanka whipped Pakistan by 309 runs in Colombo. It is also India’s first Test win over England at home.
