digital desk- In a very high-voltage and exciting match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, the Indian women’s cricket team’s star spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma created such a ruckus with the ball that the Pakistani team fell apart like a pack of cards. In this match played at the prestigious Edgbaston ground in Birmingham, on the basis of Deepti’s killer and historic bowling, the Indian team was successful in defeating its arch-rival Pakistan by a huge margin of 64 runs.

India’s best bowling performance in T-20 World Cup

In this match, Deepti Sharma spread the magic of her spin and spent only 10 runs in her 4 over spell and showed the way to the pavilion to 5 batsmen of Pakistan. This is by far the best bowling performance by any Indian bowler in the history of the Women’s T20 World Cup. With this magical figure, Deepti broke the record of fast bowler Renuka Singh Thakur, who had taken 5 wickets for 15 runs against England in the 2023 World Cup. Gul Firoza, Ayesha Zafar, Alia Riaz, Nashra Sandhu and Tasmiya Rubab looked completely helpless in front of Deepti’s perfect line-length.

World record for most wickets in Women’s T-20 International cricket

Deepti Sharma not only won the match and bowled the best Indian spell in World Cup history, but she has also now become the world’s highest wicket-taker in the history of Women’s T20 International cricket. In this matter, Deepti has left behind Thailand’s legendary bowler Thipacha Puthavong (165 wickets). Now Deepti Sharma has occupied the number-1 position in the world with 166 wickets.
