Pratika Rawal scripts history, breaks women's cricket world record during tri-series encounter against SA

Indian opener Pratika Rawal continued her spectacular form in ODI cricket and scripted women's cricket history on Tuesday morning in Colombo, reaching the 500-run mark in just her eighth innings. Rawal, who debuted against the West Indies in December last year, has been sensational and consistently scored big for India. Coming into the Tuesday encounter, Rawal needed just six runs to break the world record for being the fastest woman to 500 runs in ODI cricket and the right-hander ended up smashing her fifth consecutive fifty-plus score.
