Mithali Raj's story will continue to inspire generations of women in a predominantly male sport. But her quiet sendoff shows why BCCI needs to step up.
India raced to top of the table with a 155-run win over Stafanie Taylor’s side, who, despite dominating performance from openers, collapsed from 100-0 after 12 overs to 162 all out.
