IND-W vs. IRE-W match LIVE: Today’s match between India and Ireland will be a deciding factor in India’s spot in the semi-final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

IND-W vs. IRE-W match LIVE: Today’s match between India and Ireland will be a deciding factor in India’s spot in the semi-final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The India side is currently on the brink and will face Ireland today at 6:30 pm IST in a do-or-side match. Both India and Ireland are in Group 2 and this will be the last match of this group. Ireland has not won a single match in Group 2 yet and on the other hand, India has won 3 matches out of a total of 4 matches in the group till now. But Ireland is the only team to beat Australia in a warm-up match earlier. On the Indian side, despite winning 3 matches, an 11-run loss to England has dented Harmanpreet & Co’s chances to qualify for the semi-finals. IND-W vs IRE-W match: India’s Position Here are some details on India’s position in the World Cup right now: 1. India is in the 2nd spot in Group 2 with 4 points from 3 matches. 2. India’s 11-run loss has all but guaranteed England the top spot in Group 2. 3. With the top 2 qualifying for the semi-finals, Pakistan and West Indies are still in the race. 4. Ireland has already been eliminated from the semi-finals. 5. If India loses to Ireland, and Pakistan win against West Indies and England; then India will find them out of the tournament. IND-W vs IRE-W match: Updated points table for Group 2 POS TEAM PLAYED WON LOST N/R TIED NET RR POINTS 1 England 3 3 0 0 0 1.776 6 2 India 3 2 1 0 0 0.205 4 3 Pakistan 2 1 1 0 0 1.542 2 4 West Indies 3 1 2 0 0 -0.913 2 5 Ireland 3 0 3 0 0 -1.989 0 India had a chance to seal the deal in Group 2 but despite Smriti Mandhana’s half-century, India failed to chase the 152-run target. Though England has won all the 3 matches till now, they also haven’t secured their semi-final spot yet. IND-W vs IRE-W match: How India can qualify for semi-finals? Here are some scenarios: Scenario 1: If West Indies beat Pakistan • If West Indies beat Pakistan today in their last game, it will give India a massive boost but still not help India to secure any spot. • WI will tie India on 4 points but Pakistan will still have an advantage as they will have a game in hand. • WI can qualify with 4 points if Pakistan loses to England, and India loses to Ireland by big margins. Scenario 2: If Pakistan beat West Indies • If Pakistan wins against West Indies then it will complicate things for India. • Pakistan will go par on 4 points with India and will take the 2nd spot in Group 2 on the basis of better NRR. • However, it won’t end India’s run for the World Cup title. The final group game on Tuesday will be the deciding factor of who will go through. Scenario 3: If Ireland beat India • India can still qualify with a loss to England. • But India will have to rely on England hammering Pakistan by a huge margin to even have a spot in the semi-final spot. • Pakistan has an NRR of +1.542 while India is on +0.205. Hence, it will be almost impossible for India to leapfrog Pakistan. However, even if India qualifies for the semifinals as a second team from Group 2, their final hopes will be in jeopardy. The second-placed team from Group 2 will face mighty Australia in the semifinals. Australia is guaranteed the top spot in Group 1 having won all four of their matches.

ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023: The T20 World Cup of Women's teams will begin on 10 February after the warm-up matches, which will conclude on 8 February. The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is a biennial international tournament and is organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The first-ever edition of this tournament was played in England in 2009.&nbsp;

The first three tournaments had eight participants, but this number was then increased to ten beginning with the 2014 edition. The ICC announced in July 2022 that Bangladesh would host the 2024 tournament and England would host the 2026 tournament. The number of teams participating in the 2026 tournament will also be increased to twelve.

A certain number of teams qualify automatically for each tournament, with the remaining teams determined by the World T20 Qualifier. Australia has won the title five times and is the most successful team.&nbsp;

<h2>How do teams qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup?</h2>

The ICC Women's T20 international rankings and a qualification event, the ICC Women's World T20 Qualifier, determine qualification. Until 2014, the top six teams in the ICC Women's T20 International rankings at the time of the draw determined six teams, with the remaining two places determined by a qualification process. The top eight teams in the ICC Women's T20I rankings determined six places in the 2014 edition, with the host country and three qualifiers joining them in the tournament. From 2016 onwards, the top eight teams in the ICC Women's T20I rankings determined seven spots, with the host country and two qualifiers joining them in the tournament.

ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023: The T20 World Cup of Women's teams will begin on 10 February after the warm-up matches, which will conclude on 8 February. The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is a biennial international tournament and is organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The first-ever edition of this tournament was played in England in 2009. The first three tournaments had eight participants, but this number was then increased to ten beginning with the 2014 edition. The ICC announced in July 2022 that Bangladesh would host the 2024 tournament and England would host the 2026 tournament. The number of teams participating in the 2026 tournament will also be increased to twelve. A certain number of teams qualify automatically for each tournament, with the remaining teams determined by the World T20 Qualifier. Australia has won the title five times and is the most successful team. How do teams qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup? The ICC Women's T20 international rankings and a qualification event, the ICC Women's World T20 Qualifier, determine qualification. Until 2014, the top six teams in the ICC Women's T20 International rankings at the time of the draw determined six teams, with the remaining two places determined by a qualification process. The top eight teams in the ICC Women's T20I rankings determined six places in the 2014 edition, with the host country and three qualifiers joining them in the tournament. From 2016 onwards, the top eight teams in the ICC Women's T20I rankings determined seven spots, with the host country and two qualifiers joining them in the tournament.

ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023: Full schedule, date, timing, teams, fixture & LIVE streaming details

Another day, another World Cup heartbreak for India. On Sunday (March 27), India were up against South Africa in their last league stage encounter in the Women's World Cup, in New Zealand, to book the fourth semi-finals spot.&nbsp;

It was a good start to the must-win game&nbsp;for Mithali Raj's troops. India won the toss and opted to bat first at the picturesque Hagley Oval, Christchurch. The coin toss' decision turned out to be correct for the Indian eves as they rode on an impressive 91-run opening stand between Shafali Verma-Smriti Mandhana. Fifties from Mandhana, Shafali and Mithali propelled India to 274/7 in 50 overs. While Proteas had already qualified and were sure to end at the second spot, they also needed a win to return&nbsp;to winning ways before the knockouts. Nonetheless, it was a herculean task. They had to face 30 overs of spin&nbsp;to complete the second-best run-chase in World Cup history.&nbsp;

India inflicted a run-out early in South Africa's run-chase. Further, they overcame a 125-run second-wicket stand between in-form Laura Wolvaardt-Lara Goodall, pulled off a comeback with regular fall of wickets only to stutter in the concluding stage of the match. A last-ball defeat, with a no-ball twist on the penultimate delivery, sealed India's fortunes in what was a bittersweet campaign.

Was it always coming?&nbsp;

Prior to the World Cup, India toured England and Australia last year. In addition, they arrived in New Zealand much before and&nbsp;played a T20I and five ODIs versus the host nation in February. Having been accustomed to conditions for quite long, they slowly gained some mileage in the CWC'2022 edition. However, they&nbsp;never came to their very best against Australia, England, and New Zealand; paying a heavy price ultimately. The three losses to big teams made their progress tougher. No settled XI, lack of exposure as a batting unit, inability to play big shots at will, and the missing venom in the pace battery, with too much reliance on Jhulan Goswami, marked their inevitable downfall.&nbsp;

It has still only been a day since India's heartbreaking exit. Probably, criticism can wait for a bit longer. The manner of the defeat, which was of the barest of margins, will surely dent the young girls. Nonetheless, these young guns such as Sneh Rana, Shafali, Meghna Singh, Pooja Vastrakar, Richa Ghosh, Yastika Bhatia, etc. can keep their heads high. As former India women's coach WV Raman rightly pointed out in his tweet, 'the glory is not in falling, but rising every time you fall'.

Despite the loss, what are the positives? Well, to force the BCCI to 'propose' Women's IPL is probably the biggest takeaway for the Indian eves. Moreover, the Mitahlis, Jhulans, Mandhanas, Harmanpreet, etc. have set the base for women's cricket. As a result, India's nucleus is still strong and, thus, they have impressed in all ICC events since the last ODI World Cup, even though they remain trophy-less. With back-to-back heartbreaks in close finishes, India need to work on their temperament. Nonetheless, nothing is lost. It might seem to be the case. But there should be no hesitance in falling as the rise is never too far away.

In the virtual post-match conference, Mithali looked at the brighter side and said, "There will be generations of players coming and going, the team definitely will have to get going after every World Cup, there is always a change in the team, in the dressing room. There'll be fresh faces in, there will be some experienced players in - so I think every team has to go through this process of rebuilding a team after the World Cup, especially after the one day World Cup, so that they prepare for the coming World Cups in another four years. And I guess we are no different, probably the Indian team also will probably go through the same transformation."

As clichéd as it may sound, these are tough times. But there will be light at the end of this tunnel. Very soon, we shall find the&nbsp;missing pieces of the puzzle. Just as Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble's&nbsp;World Cup dreams were fulfilled by a young brigade, the same is&nbsp;likely to&nbsp;be the case for the senior women's team in the coming years...

We fall, we rise: Over to the younger lot as Mithali Raj, Jhulan Goswami's World Cup dream remains unfulfilled

On Sunday (March 27), the Mithali Raj-led Indian team bowed out of the ICC Women's World Cup in New Zealand. Playing South Africa in a must-win game, i.e. their last league stage encounter, for a place in the semi-finals, the Indian eves gave their all but ended on the losing side on the last ball by the barest of margins.

Opting to bat first at Hagley Oval, Christchurch, India rode on a perfect 91-run opening stand between half-centurions Shefali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. After losing two quick wickets, India posted 274 for 7 courtesy Mithali's 68 and vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur's 48. In reply, South Africa chased it down with three wickets to spare courtesy Laura Wolvaardt's 80, Lara Goodall's 49 and an unbeaten 52 from Mignon du Preez along with cameos from Marizanne Kapp and Chloe Tryon.&nbsp;

It was a riveting contest that went down to the wire as Deepti Sharma's last-over no-ball titled the equation in Proteas' favour. Nonetheless, India could have also scored a lot more than they did (less than 40 runs) in the last five overs whereas their fielding wasn't upto the mark during the crunch moments of the game.

After a disappointing end to the World Cup campaign, Mithali &amp; Co. bowed out as the fifth-ranked side, winning three and losing four encounters. Post the heartbreaking defeat, India's former captain Virat Kohli shared a heartfelt message for the Indian eves.

Kohli tweeted saying, "Always tough to bow out of a tournament you aim to win but our women's team can hold their heads high. You gave it your all and we are proud of you."

At the post-match presenstation, skipper Mithali pointed out, "I personally feel the girls gave it all, it was an important game, was a good game, it ended our campaign, but I'm proud of the girls for coming so far. With the bowlers we had, I thought 275 was a good total, we had defended similar totals in the past. Her experience (on missing Jhulan Goswami) would have added a lot, but this was an exposure for the other girls to step up. Everything should come to an end, it'll take time to settle the emotions, but that is sport. Thanks to everyone who turned out for every Indian game, it was nice to hear your cheers and keep supporting the girls and the Indian women's team in the future."

Talking about Kohli, he is currently involved in IPL 2022, playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The Faf du Plessis-led side lost their season-opener to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by five wickets in a high-scoring encounter on Sunday evening, at the DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai.

We are proud of you: Virat Kohli reacts after Mithali Raj-led India bow out of Women's World Cup

The race for the semi-finals have intensified with each passing day in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup in New Zealand. While Meg Lenning-led Australia were the first team to book a slot in the semis, they have been joined by South Africa as the Proteas Women made it to the top four following their washout encounter versus West Indies on Thursday (March 24).

Talking about the West Indies-South Africa clash, only 10.5 overs of play was possible before rain played spoilsport to allow the South Africans to go through. West Indies also moved up to occupy the third spot in the points table and remain alive in the semi-finals race, however, they&nbsp;will need either India or England to lose a game to qualify. Before talking about Mithali Raj-led India's chances for the semi-finals, here's a look at the points table:

<img alt="CWC'22 Points Table" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61873224-f1e6-424d-912b-fada43be29c2" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/CWC%20PT.PNG" />

With Australia and South Africa already through to the semis, the remaining two spots have three contenders in the form of West Indies, England and India. Pakistan is&nbsp;out of the tournament whereas Bangladesh&nbsp;have an almost impossible task even if they win both games (against Australia and England, respectively) as their NRR is very poor. Hosts New Zealand need a humongous win and, hence, are almost out.&nbsp;

Defending champions England need to win their remaining game to get to 8 points and hope India lose to South Africa. Finally coming to the two-time runners-up Women in Blue, the result in the West Indies-South Africa game is&nbsp;a huge blow to India's chances. They not only need a win in their last league stage encounter -- versus South Africa -- but&nbsp;even with a victory, India might lose out on a semi-final slot as England have a better NRR after a thumping&nbsp;win versus Pakistan.&nbsp;A defeat against the Proteas and England's win will knockout Mithali &amp; Co.

Yastika Bhatia`s 50-run knock against Bangladesh turned out to be crucial in India`s must-win game here at the Seddon Park. At one stage India were in a spot of bother at 108 for 4 and from there on Yastika Bhatia`s half-century helped India score 229/7 in 50 overs. Her gritty knock earned the praise of her skipper Mithali Raj. "The anchoring innings by Yastika was important. The partnership from Sneh Rana and Pooja was crucial to get to 230," said India Women`s Team captain Mithali Raj on Yastika Bhatia`s knock.

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma put on 74 runs for the opening wicket but after that India lost three wickets in quick succession. India from 74 for no loss were reduced to 74/3 "Happy with the win. It does happen sometimes. I remember the last time I was inconsistent was in 2012. So, it does happen. But we had a good opening partnership. On a wicket like this, it`s hard for an incoming batter to get runs, " said Mithali Raj during the post-match presentation ceremony.

At the start of the innings openers, Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma scored 30 and 42 respectively. Small yet important cameos from Richa Ghosh (26), Pooja Vastrakar (30*) and Sneh Rana (27) helped India go past the 200-run mark."It`s a good effort from the batting line-up to get there despite the loss of wickets. electors have also been on the same page in bringing more all-rounders. For a long time, we`ve always banked on our spinners and we have quality spinners. Today`s surface did help them a lot too. Wouldn`t say we are spin-dominant, it also depends on the opposition we`re playing," said Mithali Raj.

Mithali Raj and company will now take on South Africa Women`s team in their next league match in Christchurch. "We haven`t played a game in Christchurch yet, so that`s a challenge.

CWC 2022: Yastika Bhatia's 'anchoring innings' was important, says Mithali Raj as India beat Bangladesh

Mithali Raj-led India returned back to winning ways in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup, in New Zealand, with an NRR-boosting win over minnows Bangladesh on Tuesday (March 22). After back-to-back defeats versus England and Australia, respectively, India faced the Bangla Tigers and finished the game with a massive 110-run win at&nbsp;Seddon Park, Hamilton.

Talking about the encounter, India opted to bat first and rode on a good start by openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. After the end of the 74-run opening stand, the innings progressed ahead with Yastika Bhatia's 50 and vital knocks from the likes of Pooja Vastrakar, Sneh Rana and wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh as India posted 229/7 on a tricky surface.

Despite Ritu Moni's three scalps and skipper Mithali's golden duck, India had a good total to defend versus the inexperienced line-up. Sneh's four-fer and contributions from other bowlers helped India maintain the pressure as the Bangladeshi line-up folded for a paltry 119 in 40.3 overs to concede an easy win for the Indian team.

How can India make it to the semi-finals?

Post the big win over Bangladesh, India have bolstered their chances of making it to the top-four. They have been helped with some recent results, with South Africa losing to Australia and West Indies going down to Pakistan, and now need to only ensure a win in their last league stage match to progress ahead. For the unversed, India can also make it to the semis despite a loss versus South Africa, on March 26 (Saturday), on NRR but will have to fight it out versus other contenders, such as&nbsp;West Indies (one game remaining) and England (with two matches left).

At present, both West Indies and defending champions England are in contention with 6 and 4 points, respectively. Thus, India will have an eye on the two teams' respective remaining games as well.

After the Bangladesh win, captain Mithali said at&nbsp;the post-match presentation, "It was important to get partnerships as it wasn't a surface where a new batter could get going instantly. We did well to get to 230 after losing those early wickets. Having all-rounders definitely gives the cushion of batting deep and it's good in a tournament like this. You want bowling options and also someone down the order to contribute with the bat. Selectors have also been on the same page in bringing more all-rounders. For a long time, we've always banked on our spinners and we have quality spinners. Today's surface did help them a lot too.

Mithali Raj-led India have their task cut out as they lock horns with one of the two unbeatable teams, i.e. Australia, in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup on Saturday (March 19). With two wins and an equal number of losses, India are in a tricky position as far as semi-finals qualifications are concerned. Thus, they cannot afford any further slip-up as it will further complicate their task of finishing in the top-four.

Talking about India's run so far, the two-time runners-up thrashed Pakistan in their opening game before losing to New Zealand by a convincing margin. They then returned back to winning ways with a big win over then-unbeaten side West Indies, in their third game, before going down to England, who was winless before the India face-off. Will India end another team's unbeaten run in the eight-team tournament? Without a doubt, Australia will be a totally different challenge as the Women in Yellow have four wins from as many encounters.

Jhulan Goswami has made it a habit of scripting new feats or milestones during every Indian&nbsp;women's game. In Mithali Raj-led India's fourth encounter of their ongoing campaign in the ICC Women's World Cup, Jhulan made heads turn once again by becoming the first-ever woman to enter the 250-wicket club when she removed Tammy Beaumont for 1.

After India failed miserably with the bat to be dismissed for a paltry 134 in 36.2 overs, the onus was on the bowlers to build pressure with some quick wickets. After Meghna Singh accounted for Danielle Wyatt's wicket, pacer Jhulan struck in her second over itself and dismissed Beaumont to script history by becoming the first woman to enter the elusive 250-wicket club. Interestingly, the first player to take 250 scalps in men's ODIs was also an Indian; i.e. Kapil Dev.

Among women cricketers, Jhulan continues to lead the list of most ODI wickets:

Jhulan Goswami - 250* wickets

Cathryn Lorraine Fitzpatrick - 180 wickets

Anisa Mohammed - 180 wickets&nbsp;

Shabnim Ismail - 168 scalps&nbsp;

Katherine Helen Brunt - 164

Among Indian players overall, Jhulan also joined an elite list of bowlers.

Indians with 250+ ODI wickets:

Anil Kumble 
Javagal Srinath 
Ajit Agarkar 
Zaheer Khan 
Harbhajan Singh 
Kapil Dev 
Jhulan Goswami

In India's previous clash, Jhulan had become the highest wicket-taker in Women's World Cup history (40).

WWC 2022: Jhulan Goswami becomes first woman to enter 250-wicket club, joins elite Indian men's bowlers

Mithali Raj-led India have had a topsy-turvy ride so far in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup. The two-time runners-up thrashed Pakistan in their tournament-opener before falling flat against hosts New Zealand. India bounced back in style versus the daunting&nbsp;West Indies line-up before losing to England in their fourth outing in the showpiece event in New Zealand.

On Wednesday (March 16), India faced defending champions England at Bay Oval, Mount&nbsp;Maunganui. Opting to bowl first, England rode on&nbsp;Charlotte Dean's 4 for 23 as the big guns such as Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Mithali, Deepti Sharma and the likes fell flat as India were dismissed for 134 in 36.2 overs. In reply, England finished the run-chase with four wickets in hand in 31.2 overs.&nbsp;Natalie Sciver's 45 and skipper Heather Knight's 53 led the charge of England as they finally opened their account after three successive defeats.

After the defeat, India find themselves in a tight spot to enter the semi-finals of the CWC 2022 edition. With three big games left, Mithali &amp; Co. will need to revamp at the earliest to finish at the top four. Here's how they can make it to the semi-finals despite the England drubbing:

For the unversed, a&nbsp;total of 4 wins are deemed enough to qualify for the knockouts. Thus, India need two more wins -- from three games -- to enter the semis. With India to play Australia, Bangladesh and South Africa, respectively, they are still very much in chance to enter the next round even if they lose to the invincibles and so far unbeaten team Australia. As long as the Women in Blue do not lose by a huge margin versus the Aussies, wins against the other two opponents should&nbsp;be just enough&nbsp;to enter the semi-finals. Nonetheless, the face-offs versus the Bangla Tigers and South Africa won't be a cakewalk by any means whatsoever.

Talking about Bangladesh and South Africa, the former has only one win -- having beaten Pakistan -- whereas the Proteas are&nbsp;unbeaten, so far,&nbsp;after three outings. Thus, India have their task cut out to win at least two and not lose any game by a big margin.

Above all, they need to address their inconsistency and pull up their socks to progress ahead and become serious contenders.

After the England loss, Mithali said at&nbsp;the post-match presentation, "We definitely didn't have partnerships and it didn't go our way despite getting what we wanted after losing the toss. When you lose you always think you are short on runs. Getting 200 could have had the match go either way. Every game we've done well as a fielding unit. It is a department where we have improved. We need to work very hard with our batting. It is an honour to play alongside Jhulan Goswami. It is difficult for any fast bowler to play at this level consistently."

Mithali Raj-led India have had a topsy-turvy ride so far in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup. The two-time runners-up thrashed Pakistan in their tournament-opener before falling flat against hosts New Zealand. India bounced back in style versus the daunting West Indies line-up before losing to England in their fourth outing in the showpiece event in New Zealand. On Wednesday (March 16), India faced defending champions England at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.

Facing arch-rivals Pakistan in their tournament-opener, Indian eves stormed past the Bismah Maroof-led side by 107 runs to commence their journey in the showpiece event in an emphatic manner.

In their next game, i.e. match 8, Mithali &amp; Co. will face&nbsp;Sophie Devine-led New Zealand cricket team in a bid to remain unbeaten in the tournament. The mega event has already thrown in a few surprises and has witnessed some close contests and the same is expected between the two big teams on Thursday (March 10). India have faced New Zealand in the run-up to the tournament. While India lost the one-off T20I and also the following five ODIs, 4-1, they managed to win the final and inconsequential 50-over fixture. Thus, India will be confident while facing the home side.

On the other hand, New Zealand have already had a topsy-turvy start to their campaign in the World Cup. While the hosts lost to West Indies by three runs in the tournament-opener, they bounced back and returned to winning ways with a 9-wicket win (DLS method) over Bangladesh. They will also be upbeat while facing Mithali &amp; Co. due to their recent performances against the Women in Blue. However, another loss will dent their confidence and, hence, the home side might feel some pressure.

Match prediction of match 8 between India-NZ:&nbsp;It is difficult to predict a winner at this time. So far, both sides have not played a single game at Seddon Park, Hamilton. The only game played at the venue in the tournament was a high-scoring affair. If the track favours the batters, India's middle and lower order -- along with their strike-rates -- will be crucial. Momentum-wise, India have the edge whereas recent records tilts the equation towards NZ.

IND vs NZ, WWC 2022 match prediction: Who will win between India and New Zealand?

Mithali Raj-led India women endured a forgettable run in the just-concluded five-match ODI series versus hosts New Zealand ahead of the ICC World Cup. While the visitors prevented a series whitewash, they weren't upto the mark in the first four games to lose the series 4-1.

Despite a big series loss, India had some players rising up to the challenge throughout the course of the five ODIs. Stumper Richa Ghosh, who is also part of India's squad for the upcoming Women's World Cup, stunned one and all with her range of shots during a scintillating 26-ball 50 (52) in the fourth and penultimate ODI.

The 18-year-old Richa's innings was filled with 4 fours and an equal number of sixes, at 179.31, as she made a strong statement before the mega event. Despite India falling short by 63 runs in pursuit of 192 in the rain-curtailed 20-over aside contest, Richa made heads turn and revealed MS Dhoni as her idol.

"It felt really great as it was my first 50. The last time I got out for 44 in Australia but here I was able to continue and reach half-century. I was really happy, and my parents were also elated by it as they called up to congratulate me after the knock," she told team skipper Mithali Raj in a post-match video on bcci.tv.

"During my childhood, I used to look up to my father. I used to practice with him at that time, so I was influenced by his aggressive batting approach. When I began watching matches of Team India, I started following MS Dhoni as I was impressed with his power-hitting abilities with the bat coupled with effective wicket-keeping behind the stumps. He is my idol,"&nbsp;Richa added.

"I think it was a very nice inning by her. I was in awe of her for the shots she played, the sixes she hit against the wind. They were the shots one could admire from the other end," skipper Mithali lauded Richa's knock.

On Thursday (February 24), Indian eves chased down a competitive 252-run target, by six wickets, to prevent a series whitewash versus the White Ferns before the commencement of the ODI World Cup, from March 04.
