Image: PTI/Reuters Legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh urged the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian women's team to 'play the situation' and 'experience the whole enigma' in the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup, where the Women in Blue will be aiming to end their trophy drought in global events. 'Yuvi' urges Team India to make most of 'great opportunity to create history' Yuvraj, who was part of the Indian team that won the inaugural Men's T20 World Cup in 2007 as well as the ICC World Cup four years later, urged the Indian women's team to believe in themselves while adding that 'experience and self-belief' will be crucial for them in crunch situations, including and especially in the knockouts. '(I would say) play the situation and not the expectation and be in the moment,' Yuvraj said at an event marking the 50-day countdown to the 13th edition of the Women's World Cup, which India will be co-hosting along with Sri Lanka. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's a great opportunity to create history. But that doesn't mean that from the start point you are thinking of winning it. You have to experience the whole enigma of it. You have to feel that you have put in the process and results will come.' 'But if you want to win the World Cup, you will be in pressure, things won't go well and that's when experience and self-belief has to take over. You have to believe that you want to win the game for your country (on) that day,' the flamboyant left-handed batter, who was the Player of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup, added. A history of heartbreaks While they have been crowned Asian champions seven out of nine times, the Women in Blue are yet to win an ICC event – either in the ODI or T20I format. India had finished runners-up in the ODI World Cup in 2005 and in 2017, under Anjum Chopra and Mithali Raj's leadership respectively. Harmanpreet, meanwhile, had led the Indians to their only appearance in a T20 World Cup final in Melbourne in 2020.

Explained: The obstruction appeal controversy from India vs England Women 2nd ODI and what the law says
Controversy erupted in the second ODI between India and England Women after the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side appealed for obstructing the field against Tammy Beaumont. read more The second ODI between India and England Women that took place at the Lord's became a subject of massive controversy after Harmanpreet Kaur-led side appealed for Obstructing the Field against Tammmy Beaumont. While it certainly appeared that India had a case, the third umpire reached a different conclusion after going through the replays. As a result, the England opener survived and crafted a solid opening stand of 54 runs with Amy Jones, which perfectly set up the 116-run chase in a rain-affected game. Eventually, England won the game by 8 wickets and brought the series level at 1-1. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The match did not offer much when it comes to the contest between bat and ball, but still made headlines owing to the field obstruction incident. The odd episode transpired during the 4th over of the England chase. On the fifth delivery bowled by Deepti Sharma, Tammy Beaumont came down the track, playing a flick to mid-wicket. More from First Cricket Team India selectors make course correction as Anshul Kamboj reportedly picked ahead of Harshit Rana as pace back-up India's appeal turned down by the third umpire As the ball was collected by fielder Jemimah Rodrigues, who sent it back to the striker's end. However, the visiting team appealed for obstruction of the field. The Indian team believed the England batter deliberately blocked the throw. Paying heed to the appeal, the on-field umpires consulted each other before sending the decision to the third umpire for review. Replays indicated that wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh failed to collect the ball. At the same time, England batter Beaumont had positioned her foot in the crease as the throw was coming toward Ghosh. Notably, Beaumont's left foot was grounded inside the crease when she moved her right leg. The ball ended up hitting Beaumont's pad, which prompted Ghosh to appeal for obstructing the field. After taking a good look at the replays, the third umpire came to the decision that it was not out. Following the culmination of the game, India batter Smriti Mandhana expressed her thoughts on the incident. 'I was not in a really good angle, to be fair, probably it was not visible at all. Jemmi definitely felt that maybe she kicked it or something. They referred it, and it was not out, so I'm sure that they should have seen all the angles. That's the only view I have on it,' Mandhana told reporters. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'But I was in no angle, to be fair, to see what happened. At mid-on, you don't see what exactly happened from that way. So, not being diplomatic, but genuinely, I did not see it,' she added. What does the law say? According to the game's laws, being back in the crease doesn't exempt a batter from being given out for obstructing the field. The ball was still in play, so it wasn't considered dead. However, laws specify a batter won't be out if the obstruction was accidental or done to avoid injury. 37.1.1 in MCC's law book states, 'Either batter is out Obstructing the field if, except in the circumstances of 37.2, and while the ball is in play, he/she wilfully attempts to obstruct or distract the fielding side by word or action.' 37.1.2 states, 'The striker is out Obstructing the field if, except in the circumstances of 37.2, in the act of receiving a ball delivered by the bowler, he/she wilfully strikes the ball with a hand not holding the bat. This will apply whether it is the first strike or a second or subsequent strike. The act of receiving the ball shall extend both to playing at the ball and to striking the ball more than once in defence of his/her wicket.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The incident that took place in the second ODI between India and England Women brought back the memories of the famous dismissals of Yusuf Pathan from IPL 2013 and Inzamam-ul-Haq from India's 2005/06 tour of Pakistan.

India Women Create History Against England, Become First Team In The World To...
Last Updated: India created a new world record in international cricket history by taking 9 successive wickets for then fewest runs. The Indian women cricket suffered their first defeat of the ongoing England tour on Friday with their hosts managing to keep the five-match T20I series alive at The Oval. Chasing 171, India were limited to 166 in 20 overs as England won by five runs to cut down the Harmanpreet Kaur-led tourist's lead to 1-2. England though could have ended up with a much bigger total had India not created a new world record of taking the fewest ball in international cricket history – men and women – to take 9 wickets. England were cruising at 137/0 in 15.1 overs and seemed destined for a big total when Deepti Sharma left everything to her own to give India their first breakthrough in the form of Sophia Dunkley (75 off 53). That dismissal triggered a dramatic collapse. England lost their 9 wickets in the space of just 25 deliveries which is now an international record. During this phase, they added just 31 runs. 10 wickets for 0 Earlier this year during a Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier match in Bangkok, UAE retired all their 10 batters after reaching 192/0 in 16 overs against Qatar. This was the first time in men/women T20I history that a team has retired more than two batters in an innings. UAE's decision meant they had as many as eight ducks. With Qatar then being skittled for 29, the total number of ducks recorded during the contest went up to 15 – the most in women's T20I history. 300 Wickets For Deepti India allrounder Deepti Sharma returned bowling figures of 3/27 from four overs and with that, she took her wickets tally to 300 across formats at international level, becoming the sixth bowler to do so. Fast bowling legend Jhulan Goswami (355) holds the record for most wickets in women's international cricket history followed by Katherine Sciver-Brunt (335), Ellyse Perry (331), Shabnim Ismail (317) and Anisa Mohammed (305). England Stay Alive The series is alive after England's win five-run win. Dunkley won player-of-the-match award for her brilliant half-century at the top of the batting order. She struck seven fours and a six during her stay. The fourth match will be held on July 9 at Old Trafford in Manchester. About the Author Cricketnext Staff First Published: July 05, 2025, 07:25 IST
