Hamilton, March 12 (UNI) Veteran India fast bowler Jhulan Goswami on Saturday became the all-time highest wicket-taker in Women’s ODI World Cups. With 40 wickets, Jhulan surpassed the 34-year-old record which was held by Australia’s Lyn Fullston (39 wickets). Jhulan achieved the milestone in the 2022 World Cup match against West Indies at the Seddon Park. The 39-year-old fast bowler dismissed Anisa Mohammed, who chipped straight up and at mid-wicket the substitute fielder Taniya Bhatia went back to complete the catch. England’s Carole Hodges (37 wickets) and Clare Taylor (36 wickets), and Cathryn Fitzpatrick (33 wickets) of Australia complete the top five wicket-takers in World Cups.

Mandhana and Kaur added 184 runs together for the fourth wicket to help India cross the 300-run mark for the first time in World Cups.
