<p>India women are the defending champions of the Asia Cup as they secured the title in 2022, defeating Sri Lanka comfortably in Sylhet. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jemimah_Rodrigues">Jemimah Rodrigues</a> was India?s highest run-getter in the tournament. <br> <br>The defending champions Women in Blue have not surprised anyone with their squad selection, as out of the 17-member squad playing against South Africa in the current series, 15 members were included in the squad for the Asia Cup to be held in Dambulla. <br> <br>However, India has left out some vital names like Shikha Pandey, Rajeshwari Gaikwad, Yastika Bhatia, and Harleen Deol from the list of players who are a regular part of the side and have BCCI contracts as well.  </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="batters">Batters </h3>



<p>On the batting front, India possesses extreme class and talent, as they have the likes of world-class cricketers led by their skipper Harmanpreet Kaur. <br> <br><strong>Jemimah Rodrigues </strong>was India?s highest run-getter in the competition in the previous edition of the game and is currently the best in the format as she has impressed owners of the franchise teams with her performance. She will be India's most trustworthy aid on the batting front. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Jemimah-jpg.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-142715"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jemimah Rodrigues for India in Asia Cup 2022 (Image: The Cricketer)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p><br><strong>Smriti Mandhana:</strong> The only adjective that suits her name is the ?best?. Mandhana has been India?s best batter in the shortest format of the game and also the second-highest run scorer for the Women in Blue. With 3000+ runs and her superior form, Mandhana remains to be India?s most reliable batter. <br> <br><strong>Harmanpreet Kaur:</strong> The Indian skipper has been the highest run-getter in the format and has even more experience in the format than ex-captain Mithali Raj. Kaur, though not the most consistent yet, has rescued Indian women from several dire situations of trouble and has been a match-winner for them and will continue to be so. <br> <br><strong>Shefali Verma</strong>: India?s young sensation, has been roaring in international cricket ever since her debut in the format. Known for her fearless stance and six-hitting prowess, Verma will be desired to fire in.  </p>



<p>Alongside these players, India will have the services of their all-rounders and Dayalan Hemalatha.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="all-rounders">All-Rounders</h3>



<p>T20, the shortest format, is quite often known as the all-rounders game. The format demands players who can perform from both ends, and their fitness allows them great game time. <br> <br><strong>Deepti Sharma</strong><br> <br>India?s likely most experienced cricketer after skipper Kaur. She has been a part of the Indian set-up for years and will remain to be in years to come, as he seems irreplaceable from the Women in Blue. Sharma has 1000+ runs in the format despite batting down the order, and her wicket tally gets filled now and then. <br> <br><strong>Pooja Vastrakar</strong> <br> <br>In recent times, Vastrakar has been India?s go-to all-rounder, much like Hardik Pandya from the Men?s team. Pooja is a clean hitter of the white ball and has been provided with different roles as a bowler. She has excelled for Women in Blue with the ball in the powerplay and death with both the new and the old ball. Her contribution will be inevitable if India looks to go on the quest for defending their title and be the champions of Asia for the 8th time in 9 competitions since 2004. </p>

</figure>



<p><br><strong>Sajeevan Sajana</strong><br> <br>Sajana has been recently made a part of Team India?s squad, and the batter has had quite a season domestically. She is a right-handed batter and bowls right-arm off break, equally efficient to replace Sneh Rana, who has been dropped from the format. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="wicket-keepers">Wicket-keepers</h3>



<p><strong>Richa Ghosh: </strong>India?s main front-line batter and wicketkeeper, Richa has been a stunning addition since her initial days. Ghosh is a fearless striker of the cricket ball and brings immense power to the side. <br> <br><strong>Uma Chetry:</strong> The Assam women?s cricketer has now been in the Indian side for quite some time, though he has not often been provided with much game time due to the batting prowess of Richa. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="bowlers">Bowlers</h3>



<p><strong>Shreyanka Patil:</strong> Since her excellent campaign in the WPL with Royal Challengers Bangalore that led them to a title clinch, the first ever for the franchise in the IPL. The spinner can be an asset for the team, especially when playing in the subcontinent. </p>

</figure>



<p><br><strong>Renuka Singh</strong>: She was India?s most stunning performer in the previous edition of the Asia Cup in 2022, with the ball. Singh is probably the only full-time pace bowler in the side, while others like Vastrakar and Reddy are more among the all-rounders. <br></p>

India played their first match against the rival neighbours Pakistan while the hosts Sri Lanka played their opening match against Bangladesh Women.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/india-jpg.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-144250" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Smriti and Shafali (Image-ACC)</figcaption></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-uae-match-summary"><strong>PAK vs UAE Match Summary</strong></h2>



<p>The first game of 23rd July was Pakistan vs UAE. UAE was already out of the tournament but a win for Pakistan was a must. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first. Though UAE got an exciting start, Pakistani bowlers were quick to make a comeback. After just three wickets down at 74 runs, Pakistan executed an excellent bowling performance to restrict UAE to 103 runs.</p>

<p>The chase for Pakistan never looked tough as the two openers were batting with free flow. Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali?played an outstanding innings to chase the target ensuring no damage of wickets. Pakistan chased down the target within 15 overs and got a "green Q" to their name in the Women's Asia Cup Points table.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-nep-match-summary"><strong>IND vs NEP Match Summary</strong></h2>



<p>Next, the evening match was played between India and Nepal. India were almost qualified with a high NRR and this was a practice kind of match for them. Harmanpreet Kaur got rest and Smriti Mandhana got the charge of the team.</p>



<p>India batted first and Shafali Verma got a new opening partner Hemlata and they constructed a 122-run opening partnership. Shafali Verma was leading the Indian batting with her 81 off 48 balls and a quick 28 by Rodrigues helped India to post 178 runs in their 20 overs.</p>

<p>All Nepal could do was stick to the crease and play with the merit of the ball, but they were forced to go unnatural. Arundhati Reddy started the things for India and she was joined by Radha Yadav. Deepti Sharma joined them and scalped three in the middle overs which ended Nepal's innings under 96 and India won the match by 82 runs.</p>

Women's Asia Cup Points Table 2024; India, Pakistan into the Semifinal With Big Wins

womens-asia-cup-points-table-2024-india-pakistan-into-the-semifinal-with-big-wins

<p><strong>(27 July) Women's Asia Cup 2024: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets:</strong> The majority of the Women's Asia Cup 2024 has been completed but what left is the 'ONE LAST DANCE'. India Women and Sri Lanka Women are in the finals of the ACC Women's T20 Asia Cup 2024 and here we are with the updated lists of Players with the Most Runs and Most Wickets So Far in the Women's Asia Cup 2024.</p>

<p>Cricbuzz quoted "<strong><em>India is to Asia Cup what Australia is to World Cup,</em></strong>" and this statement comes truly relevant in the present scenario. India Women are in their 9th final of the Asia Cup and this is a huge achievement in itself.</p>



<p>This season of Women's T20 Asia Cup 2024 have been a low scoring tournament. A couple of batters have flourished but bowler are in joy on the slow pitches of Dumbulla. Here we are with the updated lists of Players with the Most Runs and Most Wickets So Far in the Women's Asia Cup 2024:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="most-runs-womens-asia-cup-2024-player-ranking-1-10"><strong><strong>Most Runs: Women's Asia Cup 2024 ? Player Ranking 1-10</strong></strong></h2>



<p>Sri Lankan skipper and star batter Chamari Athapaththu is leading the team from the front. She is the most run-scorer of the tournament before the finals and seeing her lead, it feels like she is going to end the tournament with most runs individually. </p>

<p>Shafali Verma, the most criticized cricket of Indian Women Cricket team for her rash style of batting has just shut the mouth of her trolls. She is India's highest run-scorer and with 184 runs at an average of 61, she is ranked second on the list.</p>



<p>Smriti Mandhana is also there on the list at seventh spot and hopefully she is going to elevate her rankings in today's game against Sri Lanka.</p>

<p>India Women and Sri Lanka Women both qualified for the finals of the Women?s Asia Cup held in Dambulla. Going by the history of the Women?s Asia Cup, India has had a great legacy, as they were the only champions crowned for over 6 editions until 2016. <br> <br>It was only in 2018 that Bangladesh women beat India women to win their only major international title. India Women under Harmanpreet Kaur retained their title in 2022 and were also considered the favourites for the Asia Cup final in 2024. <br> <br>Sri Lanka got past Pakistan Women in a majorly contested semi-final, while India Women seemed too tough an opponent for Bangladesh Women, as both teams had a face-off in the Finals. This was India?s chance to increase their title cabinet to 8, while Sri Lanka women put on a stunning performance to win their first-ever Asia Cup title. </p>

<p><span>South Africa batter Dewald Brevis stole the limelight with his fielding during the ongoing game of the SA20 2025 between Mumbai Indians Cape Town and Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The match between the teams is taking place at the Newlands in Cape Town.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Mumbai Indians Cape Town Dewald Brevis came up with the stunning effort in the field and picked the best catches in the history of the tournament. His effort came during the 4th over of the Sunrisers Eastern Cape when he plucked a stunner to remove Tom Abell and put his team at the top.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Corbin Bosch bowled a delivery that was was short and was angled in. Abell looked to pull it and got a massive top-edge on the pull. Dewald Brevis, who was at deep square, seemed to have lost it in the sun and with the kind of impression he gave, it looked ball would land safely.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The ball was going beyond him, but Dewald Brevis stretched his right hand over him and grabbed it out of thin air. He came up with the superman type effort and flew to take a blinder and send the batter packing:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>You can seen the video at the end of the article:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Dewald Brevis notably has made a habit of picking stunners in the league. He picked a sensational catch in the last match against JSK and now came up witn another effort. He complimented his bowlers, who came up with the magical effort with the ball and made mockery of opposition.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Corbin Bosch was the pick of the bowlers for Mumbai Indians Cape Town. The all-rounder picked four wickets with the ball while Kagiso Rabada picked two scalps. Based on their collective effort with the ball, they bundled out Sunrisers Eastern Cape for just 107 runs.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Mumbai Indians Cape Town would be confident of chasing the target and gain important points in the league. Dewald Brevis would be eager to get some runs under his belt and help his team win the game and put one step in the playoffs of the SA20 2025.</span></p>

<p><strong>5. Steve Smith (AUS)</strong></p>
<p>Steve Smith is one of the best test batters that the game has seen in the last decade or so. He started his career as a leg-spinner and batted at no. 8 in his first game. But here, he is among the greatest of all time. Smith recently reached the 10,000-run mark in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle in his 205th innings. He has scored 10,038* runs in 205 innings at an average of almost 56 with 34 centuries and 42 half-centuries.</p>
<p><strong>4. Ricky Ponting (AUS)</strong></p>
<p>Former Australian captain was the best captain that the game has seen. He retired with four ICC trophies. Ponting also retired with the second-most runs in test cricket, and he is the fourth-fastest overall, having done it in 196 innings. Ponting played 168 tests between 1995 and 2012 and scored 13,378 runs at an average of 51.85. He scored 41 centuries and 62 half-centuries with a best of 257.</p>
<p><strong>3. Kumar Sangakkara (SL)</strong></p>
<p>Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara was an underrated batter, but his numbers are certainly mind-boggling. He retired with the most runs and centuries for Sri Lanka in international cricket. The Southpaw also holds the record for the second-most test double hundreds (11) after Sir Don Bradman (12). Sangakkara reached 10,000 test runs in his 195th innings. He played 134 tests and scored 12,400 runs at an average of 57.40 and the best of 319. The Southpaw scored 38 centuries and 52 half-centuries in total.</p>
<p><strong>2. Sachin Tendulkar (IND)</strong></p>
<p>The legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar is the second-fastest batter overall. Sachin retired with the most runs, centuries, half-centuries, and matches in test cricket history. That tells something about his longevity. Sachin played 200 tests and scored 15921 runs at an average of 53.78 and a best of 248 not out. He scored 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries and reached 10,000 runs in his 195th test innings.</p>
<p><strong>1. Brian Lara (WI)</strong></p>
<p>Brian Lara was one of the best batters that West Indies produced in this game. The left-hander holds the record for the highest test individual score and is the only batter to cross the 370-run mark twice in an innings. Lara reached 10,000 test runs in the 195th innings. Overall, he scored 11953 runs in 131 tests at an average of 52.88, with 34 centuries and 48 half-centuries.</p>

Steve Smith surpasses Rahul Dravid to become the fifth-fastest batter to reach 10,000 Test runs.
