Keeping the promise of playing &#8216;positive cricket,&#8217; they weathered challenges and dictated terms against high-profile opponents like Australia and England.<br \/>India&#8217;s clinical performances in the two home Tests, played at Wankhede Stadium and DY Patil Stadium, resulted in their biggest win by margin of runs against England and their first-ever triumph over Australia in 11 Tests. <\/p>\n<p>The victory has now tilted the balance in favor of &#8216;matches won&#8217; compared to &#8216;matches lost&#8217; in their overall Test record.<br \/>In 40 Tests, India women have now secured seven wins and suffered six defeats, with 27 matches ending in draws. The team&#8217;s outstanding show in the Test format emphasizes the potential for more &#8216;home&#8217; Tests in the future.<br \/>The win against Australia saw the emergence of new Test stars, including the impressive debut of 20-year-old Richa Ghosh, who scored 52. <br \/>The fourth day witnessed Indian spinners dominating, with Sneh Rana, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Deepti Sharma wreaking havoc on the Australian resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Australia, looking to build on a slender lead of 46 runs, collapsed dramatically, losing five wickets in the first 45 minutes of the day. Pooja Vastrakar, Sneh Rana, and Rajeshwari Gayakwad played pivotal roles in India&#8217;s success.<br \/>India&#8217;s performance with the bat was equally formidable, making 406 in the first innings, their highest total ever against Australia in Tests. <br \/>Shafali Verma, Richa Ghosh, and Smriti Mandhana contributed to the successful chase of the meager target of 75, securing a memorable victory in their &#8216;home season&#8217; finale.<\/p>\n<p>The triumph is not only a significant milestone for Indian women&#8217;s cricket but also emphasizes the potential for more Test matches in the future, marking a remarkable chapter in the history of women&#8217;s cricket in the country.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW\">\n<p class=\"efT4r\">IPL auction 2023: Mitchell Starc breaks records with Rs. 24.75 cr deal to join Kolkata Knight Riders<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"strong\">(With inputs from PTI)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')<\/p>\n<p>      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }<\/p>\n<p>    }<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/india-women-seal-historic-test-win-over-australia-in-home-season-finale\/articleshow\/106247236.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] NEW DELHI: In a fitting end to India women&#8217;s first &#8216;home season&#8217; of Test cricket in 28 years, they secured a historic maiden victory over the formidable Australia in a one-off Test on Sunday.
