- Emergence of Deepti Sharma as an all-rounder
The 19 years old all-rounder Deepti Sharma had a decent Women’s World Cup with the bat and ball. She bowled with great control not allowing the opposition batters to play with freedom. It was a good performance by Sharma who took 12 wickets in 9 matches. With the bat, she scored a total of 216 runs with the best score of 78. With 11 runs required, Sharma could not handle the pressure of the big finals and lost the match by 9 runs.
