Sneh Rana Stars In India Women's 10-Wicket Win Over South Africa Women
Sneh Rana's historic 10-wicket match haul led India Women to a scintillating win over South Africa Women, as the visitors continue their dismal run against the hosts in the ongoing tour.
"Feeling really great to contribute on such an occasion. Tough to describe in words. Body is quite fresh after fielding for so many overs. In the start the pitch was difficult for the spinners with not much turn. Later on we got a lot of turn and bounce. The South African batters balanced the game but our bowling attack fought back," said Rana during post-match presentation ceremony.
"Playing a Test match is a big thing and special. Winning this award is beyond description. I also want to say one thing. People say that playing off spinners is very easy but I hope those people got an answer today," she added.
