India batter Harleen Deol, who notched up her maiden ODI hundred in the side’s 115-run win over the West Indies, said she was thinking how much her mother would be elated on seeing her get a century for the first time in international cricket.
At Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, Harleen stood up to hit 115 off 103 balls, hitting 16 boundaries to lead India’s charge of making 358-5, their joint-highest total in women’s ODIs. She got her half-century in 62 balls, and then accelerated greatly to bring up her century in 98 balls.
