Women’s World Cup History : Mithali Raj Scripts Massive Record
Mithali Raj, India’s captain, set a new world record in the current Women’s World Cup on Saturday. Raj has now made the most appearances as captain in Women’s World Cup history, with India deciding to bat against West Indies in their third match of the tournament at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
She surpassed Belinda Clark, the former captain of the Australian women’s team, who had led her team to 23 victories. Mithali is captaining India for the 24th time in World Cups this weekend against the West Indies.
Mithali will be trying to complete the hat trick with a win over the West Indies, as India has only lost one match and won one so far in the competition.
India won their tournament opener against Pakistan, but then lost their second game to New Zealand by 62 runs.
