Sneh Rana is the find of England series, says head coach Ramesh Powar | Cricket News – Times of India
India defeated England by four wickets in the third ODI on Saturday at the New Road, Worcester. Mithali played a captain’s knock as she remained unbeaten on 75. In the end, Rana also played a crucial 24-run knock off just 22 balls with the help of three fours. Earlier, Rana bowled the figures of 7-0-31-1, dismissing Lauren Woodhill in the match.
“Sneh Rana is the find of this series. The way she was bowling in practice sessions at Southampton, we thought we must give her a chance. It was a difficult decision to play two off-spinners in the playing 11 but she played her role to the core. And am really happy for her because being an off-spinner I can see the talent. She is a player who can play in crunch situations and that’s what we needed right now,” Ramesh Powar said in a video tweeted by the BCCI.

Talking about the match Powar said, “Bowlers brought us back in the game and I think we have to learn many things from this series. Fielding and Bowling improved immensely and I think batting also needs to improve if we are aiming at the World Cup.”
During the match Indian captain Mithali Raj surpassed England’s Charlotte Edwards to become the highest run-getter in women’s cricket. With 10,277 runs in 317 international fixtures, the 38-year old is now the highest run-getter in women’s cricket.
“I think she deserves every praising word out there, She has been amazing throughout the 22 years. She is a role model for a lot of the girls. In today’s game, she single-handedly won us the match. Chasing 220 on a low bounce track, she took us over the line,” Powar said about Mithali.
The 43-year-old tactician also showed showered praise on veteran Jhulan Goswami as he said: “Jhulan Goswami is one of the legends of women cricket and the way she has her ethics, preparations, and commitment towards the team, dressing room, and young players that makes a lot of difference to us as a team.”
England and Indian will now meet again on Friday at Northampton in the first of three T20Is to round out the multi-format series.
