Indian veteran Jhulan Goswami tied the number of wickets in the ICC Women’s World Cup on Thursday. Goswami equaled the total of 39 wickets taken by Australia’s Lyn Fullston from 1982 to 1988. The 39-year-old achieved this feat against New Zealand in the ongoing 2022 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup in Hamilton. On Thursday, Goswami took over the record-tying wicket in the last of the innings against the White Ferns. Goswami knocked over Katey Martin. With the wicket, Goswami became the joint-highest wicket-taker in Women’s World Cup history, joining Lynette Ann Fullston at the top with 39 scalps.
In India’s opening match, she cast a brilliant spell and returned 2/26 in India’s win over Pakistan.
In an illustrious career spanning two decades, Goswami now has 39 wickets to her name in five Women’s Cricket World Cups since 2005.
Speaking of the match, Pooja Vastrakar scalped four wickets as India narrowed New Zealand to 260/9 in the ongoing ICC Women’s 50-over World Cup here at Seddon Park.
