India women steamrolled West Indies women in the third and final ODI of the series to register a 3-0 sweep on Friday, December 27. Led by a sensational bowling display by Renuka Singh Thakur and Deepti Sharma, the hosts bowled the Windies out for 162 before gunning down the target with five wickets in hand. With this, West Indies have also failed to earn a direct qualification spot in next year's ODI World Cup 2025. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/india-women-register-series-sweep-over-west-indies-after-deepti-sharma-historic-six-wicket-haul-2024-12-27-968195
Series wins at home but global tournaments still remain Achilles Heel for Indian women's cricket team
It's not often that a selection call or an omission decision sums up the state of the entire team and how it is run. Imagine, a player registering her career-best figures in a format, is nowhere to be seen in the team's squads for the next assignment and so much so that the fans and avid followers of the game could predict that it was very much possible? In a year where the Indian women's cricket team failed to qualify for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, lost the Asia Cup final and this one decision stands out? Probably it was a summation of everything which tells you that all's not good in the hood. It brought out severe reactions from fans, especially since the decision came after the Women in Blue were hammered by Australia in a three-match ODI series.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/yearender-series-wins-at-home-but-global-tournaments-still-remain-achilles-heel-for-indian-women-s-cricket-team-ind-w-vs-wi-w-2024-12-21-967270
