Overview
- Deepti Sharma reached the record on Sunday at Lord's when she dismissed Australia opener Beth Mooney to claim her 356th international wicket.
- Mooney was caught by Radha Yadav after miscued slog-sweep off Sharma's bowling, a play that produced the match's signature dismissal.
- Sharma's career total now stands at 356 wickets across formats with a breakdown of 22 in Tests, 166 in ODIs and 168 in T20Is, earned in her 278th international appearance.
- India posted 170 for 4 after Harmanpreet Kaur's late 56 but Australia chased 171 with Ellyse Perry's 56, winning and advancing from Group A unbeaten while India were knocked out.
- The record moves Sharma past Jhulan Goswami's 355 wickets and caps a tournament in which Sharma also took a five-wicket haul against Pakistan, raising her legacy even as the team exit limits immediate celebration.
