Mumbai, Feb 8 (IBNS): Senior India bowler Jhulan Goswami became the first woman cricketer to claim 200 ODI wickets when she dismissed South Africa Women opener Laura Wolvaardt for nine runs on the final ball of her third over.
It was the second ODI of the ICC Women's Championship and India took an unassailable 2-0 lead following a massive 178 runs victory on Thursday at Kimberley.
India had clinched the first match by 88 runs and they now have four points from two games and are currently second on the table.
It was also the 250th ODI of the Women's team and India posted 302/3 on the board; their second total in excess of 300 in ODIs.
Smriti Mandhana, who was adjudged Player of the Match in the first game, hit a sparkling century and she now becomes the first Indian woman opener to score three ODI hundreds.
