53 & 3-54 vs SL
Deepti started with a bang in the opening match of the tournament in Guwahati, scoring most of her runs (44) in a much-needed 103-run stand with Amanjot Kaur (57), which took India from a nervy 124-6 to a more stable 227-6. With the ball, she dismantled Sri Lanka’s batting order with her off-spin. She cleaned up captain Chamari Athapaththu (43) and induced errors from Kavisha Dilhari and Anushka Sanjeewani, resulting in catches. SL were bowled out for 211, losing by 59 runs.

25 & 3-45 vs PAK
On a slow wicket, where India scored 247 batting first, Deepti’s 37-ball knock was very valuable. She came in at 151-4 and gave the team some solidity at one end till 203-6. Deepti was the pick of the bowlers for India alongside Kranti Gaud (3- 20), claiming scalps of skipper Fatima Sana, Rameen Shamim and Sadia Iqbal. She effected the run out of opener Muneeba Ali and took a catch of Aliya Riaz at second slip as Pakistan were bowled out for 159.
