Team India will have big hopes from senior all-rounder Deepti Sharma as they look to seal a berth in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 semifinals. Australia, South Africa and England have already qualified for the knockouts, while India, New Zealand and Sri Lanka are in a three-way race for the last available spot.
Deepti has had an impressive campaign with both bat and ball, but India Women, as a team, have struggled, suffering three consecutive losses. After going down to Australia and South Africa, they lost to England in their previous league match. Deepti starred with the ball, claiming 4-51 and then scored a valiant 50. However, India choked in a chase of 289 to finish on 284-6.
The Indian all-rounder will be looking forward to another impactful performance against New Zealand in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, October 23. Ahead of the key clash, we compare her stats with that of star New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr.
