Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) [India], October 9 (ANI): As India prepares for the ICC Women's World Cup clash against South Africa, Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma is just four wickets away from becoming the second player from her team to reach the 150-wicket landmark in women's ODIs.

An undefeated India, after wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan, will take on a motivated South Africa, who seem to have gotten over a horror ten-wicket loss to England while defending just 70 in the campaign opener, following a win over New Zealand, which saw Tazmin Brits smash a record-breaking ton. Deepti, who has had a fine tournament so far, will be the 'X' factor with her right-arm off-spin.

In 114 matches, Deepti has 146 wickets at an average of 27.92, with best figures of 6/20, including three five-wicket hauls. She is the second-highest wicket-taker for India in women's ODIs, with legendary pacer Jhulan Goswami (255 wickets in 204 matches at an average of 22.04) above her.

Deepti is so far the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with six scalps, three in each match at an average of just above 16 and best figures of 3/45, while also contributing 78 runs in two innings, with the best score of 53 against Sri Lanka.

Jhulan, notably, is also the highest-wicket-taker in all of women's ODI cricket.
