by Deepti in the 5th T20I match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday (December 30) at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
She got the wicket of Nilakshika Silva to get past Megan Shutt of Australia. Deepti now has 152 T20I wickets, the most in the world. Sharma bowled a tidy spell on the night, finishing up with 28 for 1 in her four overs.
