In the last few years, the popularity and scope of women's cricket has increased in India. This is the reason that girls are now emerging from small towns and villages in the country and are ready to leave their mark in international cricket. One such girl is preparing to join Team India and has also shown a glimpse of her ability with a strong performance, that too directly in Australia, against Australia. On the Australia tour, this player spread such a web of her spin that the entire team collapsed for just 72 runs and this spinner herself took the wicket of half the team.

Her name is - Priya Mishra.

In men's cricket, Indian cricket has been playing 'A' team matches for a long time, in which many players have made their place in the senior team. These A team matches have contributed a lot in Team India having a strong bench of players. BCCI has started the same work in women's cricket as well and the result of this is that the women's A team is playing a one-day series with Australia A and here the Indian team made a strong comeback after losing the first match and destroyed Australia and won the match by 171 runs.

Australia collapsed for just 72 runs

In this match played on Sunday 18th August in Mackay, India A batted first and scored a decent score of 243 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 50 overs.

Tejal Hasabnis scored 50 and Raghavi Bisht scored 53 runs for the Indian team. Apart from them, Sajeevan Sanjana also scored 40 runs, while captain Minnu Mani contributed 34 runs. In response, the entire Australia A team collapsed for just 72 runs in just 22.3 overs. Even their captain and superstar all-rounder of the Australian senior team, Tahlia McGrath, could score only 1 run.

Priya's leg spin wreaked havoc

The star of Team India's victory was only 20-year-old spinner Priya Mishra.

Leg spinner Priya destroyed the Australian batting by conceding 14 runs and taking 5 wickets in her 5-over spell. With this, Priya has also attracted the attention of the selection committee. Priya's entry into cricket is as amazing as her performance. She is a resident of a small village in Prayagraj, where she used to play cricket with boys. At that time, she did not even know about women's cricket and thought that it was only a boy's game. Then after a few years, she came to Delhi and this is where her cricket career truly began. After performing well for Delhi in the Senior Women's ODI tournament, she was selected by Gujarat Giants in the Women's Premier League.
