The Indian women’s cricket team created history by scoring 410 runs on Day 1 of the only Test against England at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai, India on Thursday (December 14). This is the second highest ever score on a day in a women’s test, after England’s 431/4 against New Zealand in 1935.
This is also the third time ever that more than 400 runs have been scored in a single day of a Women’s Test, with the third occasion, apart from the aforementioned two, being Day 4 of the Australia vs England Test in 2022. While during the Test of 1935 475 runs were scored. points were scored by England and New Zealand together, in December 2022 449 points were scored between Australia and England.
India’s 410/7, meanwhile, is the highest total in a home Test for them, surpassing the 400/6 they had scored against South Africa in 2014.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s girls opted to bat first after winning the toss and did not get off to a good start as Smriti Mandhana (17) fell for a team total of 25. Shefali Verma (19) followed suit and India were 47/2 in 8.4 overs. However, four of the next five Indian batters scored a fifty each – only a third of such occurrences in the women’s Tests.
The four half-centurions were: Satheesh Shubha (69), Jemimah Rodrigues (68), Yastika Bhatia (66) and Deepti Sharma (60). However, Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was unlucky to come out with a personal score of 49.
The Indian batters scored these runs in 94 overs at a healthy run rate of 4.36 per over. The hosts have hit 62 boundaries in their innings so far – already the third highest in a women’s Test innings.
For England, Lauren Bell was the bowlers’ favorite with two wickets to her name. Apart from her, Kate Cross, Nat-Sciver Brunt, Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone took a wicket each.
