All-rounder Deepti Sharma spun a web around South African batswomen during the first T20I of the series in Surat that saw the home side register an 11-run victory and go 1-0 up in the series. She recorded figures of 4-3-8-3 with all the eight runs coming in her final over.

Deepti didn’t concede a single run in her first three overs, during which she scalped the wickets of Tazmin Brits, Nadine de Klerk and Shabnim Ismail to push south Africa on the backfoot. Her spell saw South Africa crumble under pressure and in the end, the home side successfully defended the total.

#Cricket #INDvSA ?

Deepti Sharma 4-3-8-3 ?

Are these the best bowling figures you've seen in a long time? ?

Had the spells been even in a Men's Ranji match, they would have been discussed more. The Deepti Sharma spell had 3 maidens which gave 3 wickets. She concealed only 8 runs and that too in only her last over. A stumping and a run-out from Taniya which were outstanding…

— Niyati Shah (@NiyatiS37865860) September 24, 2019

Well Played Deepti Sharma @Deepti_Sharma06 ?? 3-0 , 3- Maidens , 3- Wickets . #indvssa #womenscricket

Earlier, South Africa had won the toss and opted to bowl first. Ismail provided a dream start to the visitors as she got the wicket of debutant Shafali Verma on the fourth ball of the first over. India did have small partnerships but were 3 down for 58 after 9.5 overs.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur led the team from the front with an innings of 43 off 34 she propelled India to a defendable total of 130/8 on the board.

South Africa had a brilliant start as they had 18 runs on the board after the completion of first over. Soon, Shikhar Pandey got the wicket of Lizelle Lee. Deepti capitalised on the fall of an early wicket and chipped in with twin wickets of Tazmin Brits and Klerk to put South Africa under pressure. She also did not give a run in her first three overs and kept the batswomen under check.
