In a thrilling display of bowling prowess, Renuka Singh Thakur of the Indian cricket team had a decisive moment when dismissing West Indies captain Hayley Mateos with what can only be described as “a wonderful birth” on the third International Women’s Day (ODI) of the series.
In the match, which took place at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first. The atmosphere was electric, with fans filling the stands, eagerly anticipating a competitive game after India’s dominant performances in the previous ODIs.
Renuka Singh launches a beauty to bid farewell to Hayley Matthews
The action took place in the opening of the Windies innings in which Renuka got rid of the opener. Joseph Qiana on the first ball. Renuka took advantage of the good start and ended up sending Matthews back to the cabin.
Renuka bowled a good length delivery that came late, fooling Matthews. The ball landed just outside and swung sharply backwards, passing through the gap between bat and pad to hit the stumps. Matthews, who has been a key player for the West Indies, was dismissed for a duck, leaving his team reeling at mid-on after the first over.

This early dismissal set a discouraging tone for the West Indies. The loss of their captain in the first part of the innings was a psychological blow, especially considering Matthews’ reputation for anchoring the innings. Renuka’s performance did not end there; He continued his spell and eventually finished with three impressive wickets in the powerplay. After getting rid of Joseph and Matthews, he also fired the seasoned activist. Deandra Dottin also.
