In the space of 48 hours, Jhulan Goswami found redemption, as India pulled off their highest-ever chase in an ODI and finally ended Australia’s 26-match winning streak — which lasted for almost four years —in the 50-over format in thrilling fashion. Ironically, Australia’s amazing streak had started against India (in India back in Match 2018) and ended against India too.
On Friday night, struggling with dew, Goswami had let her team down when she conceded 13 in a poor final over which had two full tosses — the second being a controversial no ball — leading to a five-wicket defeat in a humdinger in the second ODI at the Great Barrier Arena in Mackay.
On Sunday, against the same opponents, at the same ground, the 38-year-old came back with a vengeance, taking three wickets with her incisive bowling and then smashing a four in the final over when India needed three off four balls to chase down 265 — something they’d never done before. Putting in an all-round performance of the highest quality, Jhulan showed why she would be a key player for India going into the ODI World Cup in New Zealand next year — set to be her swansong event.
