India Women Vs UAE Women, Women's Asia Cup 2024: Richa Ghosh scored a magnificent half-century against UAE Women in Match 5 of the Women's Asia Cup 2024, and in the process, created history. This was not just only Richa Ghosh's maiden T20I fifty, but this fifty also marks as first-ever fifty by an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman at Women's Asia Cup.

Richa Ghosh attained the feat within 26 balls, as her blistering knock helped India cross the total of 200 for the first time ever in the T20I's and the win is all but assured, given India Women's potent bowling attack, and UAE's lack of experience at the highest level.

Maiden T20I Fifty for Richa Ghosh! 👌👌

This has been an entertaining knock from the #TeamIndia wicketkeeper-batter 👏👏

Here's what Richa Ghosh said during post match presentation ceremony:

"I am really happy because when I play with Harry di (Harmanpreet Kaur), she always guides me on how the ball is coming onto the bat and the behavior of the pitch, so I really enjoy it. When I get the chance, I just want to perform based on what I know and have been practicing. The first cover drive was my favorite. (On concussion recovery) Yeah, I am feeling good now."
