Women’s cricket has been included for the first time in the Commonwealth Games 2022. India’s first match is against Australia. In this match, Australia’s wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy took the world record. She caught Smriti Mandhana off Darcy Brown’s delivery and became the first wicketkeeper to hit 100 wickets in international T20 cricket. However, after this he made a childish mistake and gave life to Shefali Verma. Even in batting, she could not do anything special and was out on the very first ball.

Darcy Brown was bowling in the fourth over of the match and India’s opener Smriti Mandhana was at the crease. Mandhana almost put her bat on the wide ball and the ball took the outer edge of her bat and went straight to wicketkeeper Alyssa Alyssa Healy. Alyssa Healy did no wrong and Mandhana became her 100th victim in T20Is. Alyssa is the first wicketkeeper in the world to have 100 wickets in international T20 cricket.

Shefali gets life due to mistake of Alyssa Healy

Tahila McGrath was bowling in the ninth over of the Indian innings. Shefali Verma came out of the crease on the fifth ball of the over, but could not make any contact with the ball. Alyssa Healy caught the ball easily and had a chance to do a simple stumping, but she scattered the bails with her right hand while the ball was in her left hand. Later he also stumped with his left hand, but the bails were already shattered. Because of this the stumping was invalid.
