Overview

  • The right-arm pacer bowled 10 overs with three maidens to earn Player of the Match as Pakistan were dismissed for 159 chasing 247 in Colombo.
  • She persuaded captain Harmanpreet Kaur to retain a second slip with the older ball and then dismissed Aliya Riaz in that over.
  • Goud said the plan was to keep things simple in swing-friendly conditions, emphasizing execution over spectacle in her first World Cup appearance.
  • Coaches have stressed consistency over a speed push for now, though Goud said she is comfortable with her pace and wants to get faster.
  • India extended their Women’s World Cup record against Pakistan to 5–0 and their overall women’s ODI mark to 12–0, with South Africa up next on October 9 in Vishakhapatnam as Pakistan prepare to face Australia on Wednesday.
