Deeya Yadav smashes double century in U23 Women's One Day Trophy The 16-year-old Deeya Yadav delivered a stunning performance in the Women’s U23 One Day Trophy on Thursday, scoring an unbeaten 206 runs off 147 deliveries for Haryana against Tripura. Her innings helped her team post a commanding total of 356/3 in 50 overs, setting a formidable target for the opposition. Yadav, who previously represented Delhi Capitals in the Women’s Premier League this year, showcased exceptional skill with the bat, hitting 22 boundaries and seven sixes during her innings. A significant portion of her score came from boundaries, with 63.11% of her runs generated through fours and sixes. The ball frequently crossed the ropes every 5.07 deliveries, highlighting her ability to dominate the attack. Her partnership with opening teammate Tanishka Sharma, who scored 79, and captain Sonia Mendhiya, who contributed 52, proved crucial in building a strong foundation for Haryana’s total. Both Sharma and Mendhiya reached half-century marks, supporting Yadav’s efforts effectively. This achievement marks Yadav’s second double century in one-day cricket, following her previous milestone in the U15 Women’s One Day Trophy in 2023. Notably, that innings also came against Tripura, where she scored 213 off just 125 deliveries. The young cricketer’s ability to consistently perform at a high level against the same team underscores her talent and adaptability. Haryana’s dominance continued in the second innings as they restricted Tripura to 109/9 in their allotted 50 overs, securing a memorable victory. Yadav’s record-breaking performance not only highlights her individual brilliance but also cements her status as a rising star in women’s cricket.#haryana #deeya_yadav #tripura #tanishka_sharma #sonia_mendhiya
