India has won the Women’s Blind T20 World Cup by defeating Nepal by 7 wickets in the final. In this match played in Colombo on Sunday, Team India bowled first and allowed Nepal to score only 114 runs. In reply, Team India chased the target in 12 overs and registered a historic victory. Phula Saran was the highest run scorer for Team India, scoring 44 runs from her bat.
The Indian team dominated so much in the final match that the Nepal team could score only one boundary in its innings. Last Saturday, Team India defeated Australia in the semi-finals, while Nepal defeated Pakistan to enter the finals. This tournament was jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka. On one hand India has become the champion, on the other hand Sri Lanka could register only one win in the group stage.
The rules of blind cricket are very unique, because its matches are played with a white plastic ball. Spherical bearings made of metal are filled inside this ball. Due to this, when the ball rolls towards the batsman, the rattling sound helps him in making the shot. Before throwing the ball, the bowler asks the batsman if he is ready to play. Before throwing the ball, the bowler has to shout ‘Play’.
Mehreen Ali of Pakistan was the highest run scorer in this tournament. He scored more than 600 runs in the tournament. He scored 230 runs in 78 balls against Sri Lanka and also scored 130 runs against Australia.
Only about 3 weeks ago, the Indian team won the Women’s ODI World Cup title. Under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur, Team India defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the final. Now, just a few days later, Indian women have hoisted the flag in the Blind T20 World Cup.
