DEEPTI'S MASTERLY DEPTHS : CRICKET HONOURS

Deepti's all-round heroics hand India series sweep. After a six for 31 with the ball. Deepti scored 39* with the bat.

Deepti Sharma turned in a superb all-round performance to help India seal the ODI series 3-0 in Vadodara. She first took 6 for 31 as West Indies folded for 162.

Then with India in choppy waters, Deepti provided a calming influence with an unbeaten 39 to the team home by five wickets. While Deepti dug in for the hard grind, aided with luck when she was dropped by Hayley Matthews at slip on 21, Richa Ghosh lent the finishing touches.

Having walked in to bat with India 129 for 5,  Ghosh allayed fears of a collapse by hitting one four and three sixes in her brisk 11-ball 23.

This included back-to-back sixes off legspinner Afy Fletcher to see off India's Chase.
