HAMILTON: India's veteran pacer
Jhulan Goswami on Saturday became the highest wicket-taker in the
ICC
Women's World Cup history.
Goswami surpassed the tally of 39 wickets taken by
Lynette Ann
Fullston of Australia from 1982 to 1988. The 39-year-old bagged the 40th wicket against West Indies in the ongoing ICC Women's
ODI World Cup
2022 at Hamilton.
Goswami took the record wicket in the 36th over of the innings against the West Indies. She scalped the wicket of
Anisa Mohammed who chipped the ball straight up and mid-wicket went back to catch it.
In India's opening match, she bowled a brilliant spell, returning 2/26, in India's win over Pakistan. On Thursday, she equalled the tally of most wickets in the ICC Women's World Cup against New Zealand.
In an illustrious career spanning two decades, Goswami has taken part in the five Women's
Cricket
World Cups since 2005.
