Vaishnavi Sharma Makes History in U19 Women’s World Cup
In an extraordinary display of talent and skill, Vaishnavi Sharma has etched her name in the annals of cricket history as the first Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in the U19 Women’s World Cup. This remarkable achievement unfolded during India’s clash against Malaysia at Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur.
A Match to Remember
India won the toss and opted to field first. Malaysia struggled from the outset, finding themselves in dire straits at 30/6. Vaishnavi, who had already taken two wickets, entered her fourth over ready to unleash her bowling prowess. In a stunning sequence of events, she trapped Nur Ain Binti Roslan LBW on just the second ball of the over. The very next delivery saw her dismiss Nur Isma Dania in similar fashion, followed by a clean bowled against Siti Nazwah—making her the first Indian bowler to achieve a hat-trick in this prestigious tournament.
Impressive Bowling Figures
Vaishnavi concluded her spell with incredible figures of 4 overs, 1 maiden, 5 runs, and 5 wickets. India bundled out Malaysia for a mere 31 runs in just 14.3 overs. The Indian openers, Gongadi Trisha and G Kamalini, chased down the 32-run target in an astonishing 2.5 overs, sealing a 10-wicket victory for India. This win propelled India to the top of Group A.
A Well-Deserved Recognition
For her phenomenal performance, Vaishnavi Sharma was rightfully awarded the Player of the Match. Her achievement not only highlights her individual talent but also marks a significant milestone in Indian women’s cricket.
