Women’s World Cup: Sushma Backs Top-order And Keeper Richa To Come Good Amid Mixed Returns
India have won both of their league stage games against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, but are set to face tougher challenges in four straight games, starting from the clash against South Africa at Visakhapatnam on Thursday. But it is the top order’s lack of returns, low strike rate, and non-fluency in strike rotation that threatens to hurt India in the competition.
As per statistics from Cricket-21, India’s top five batters have collectively scored 265 runs at a strike rate of 74.0 and an average of 26.5 runs per wicket, with no half-centuries so far. In contrast, the lower-order (numbers 6-11) has contributed 229 runs at a brisk strike rate of 101.3, with two fifties and a higher average of 28.6 runs per wicket - highlighting an unusual scoring pattern.
