The Indian women's cricket team made history by defeating England in a one-off Test match by a mammoth 347 runs. This registered the largest-ever victory in women's Test cricket, surpassing Sri Lanka’s previous 309-run record win in 1998. Led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, India’s bowlers dismissed England for just 131 runs to secure their first-ever Test triumph over England at home. Off-spinner Deepti Sharma starred with 4 wickets. The commanding win ended India’s 15-match winless streak in women’s Tests. It provides a confidence boost ahead of next week’s one-off Test against Australia. The Indian team displayed ruthless efficiency despite not playing Tests for two years, scripting numerous records in a perfect team performance.
