Leeds: Richa Ghosh shrugged off a prolonged lean patch with a match-turning cameo against Pakistan, and the Indian wicketkeeper-batter said the knock has filled her with confidence ahead of the next assignments in the Women's T20 World Cup.

Ghosh's 17-ball 34 was pivotal in taking India to a competitive 170, and to a thumping 64-run win over Pakistan. "I think the knock (against Pakistan) will help me really well because it gave me confidence," Ghosh said.

The 22-year-old said her fifty against England in a warm-up match also played its part in boosting her self-belief.

"I think I got the confidence from the practice match we played. I'm looking forward to the next matches," she added. agencies
