After a protracted absence, Renuka returned and bowled effectively with the new ball, taking 4/21 and upsetting the top order of Sri Lanka.

During the press conference after the game, Renuka Singh expressed her satisfaction with her performance and referred to Kerala as her “lucky ground,” pointing out that even in her Under-19 days, she often got four wickets there. In addition, she commended India’s women’s bowling team, emphasizing the potent pacer-spinner combo and their will to maintain high standards in order to win games and advance women’s cricket.

“I had a solid performance. I am content since I have played T20 cricket for a long period. Kerala is a fortunate destination for me. Here, I have also participated in Under-19 cricket. I’ve taken four wickets every time I’ve played. I couldn’t wait to see Kerala. I’m fortunate to be there,” Renuka said.

“The bowling division is doing well. The pacers and spinners work well together. For the World Cup, we are looking for a better mix. In order to win as many games as possible, we are making an effort to maintain our high standards. “Taking women’s cricket to the next level is our motto,” the Indian bowler said.

In the India vs. Sri Lanka match, Deepti Sharma bowled superbly with Renuka, collecting 3/18 and tying Australia’s Megan Schutt for the second-highest wicket-taking total of 151 in women’s Twenty20 Internationals.

Despite a late 19* from Kaushini Nuthyangana, Sri Lanka struggled early in the match, losing three wickets for 32 and managing only 112/7 in 20 overs. With a rapid 79 off 42 balls and assistance from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (21*), Shafali Verma stole the show as India won by eight wickets with 6.4 overs remaining.
