Kranti Goud was the star with the ball for India women as they defeated England by 13 runs in the third and final ODI to clinch the bilateral series 2-1. Goud produced a memorable show, finishing with a six-fer as England were bowled out for 305 in chase of 318 at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street on Tuesday. Goud finished with career-best bowling figures of 6/52 from 9.5 overs in what was just the fourth ODI of her fledgling international career. At 21 years and 345 days, Goud has become the youngest Indian fast bowler to take five or more wickets in an ODI. She surpassed the record of legendary Jhulan Goswami who achieved the feat at the age of 23 years and 12 days, also against England in December 2005. Overall, she’s the second youngest Indian women to record an ODI five-for after Deepti Sharma (18 years 179 days).
