With 40 scalps in her kitty, Goswami has surpassed Australia’s Lynette Fullston, who took 39 wickets during her career spanning six year from 1982 to 1988.
Goswami achieved the feat by dismissing Anisa Mohammed in the 36th over of the innings with West Indies chasing a mammoth target of 318 set by India.
Goswami, thus, lead the chart ahead of Fullston, England duo of Carole Hodges (37 wickets) and Claire Taylor (36) and another Australian in Cathryn Fitzpatrick (33).
The veteran 39-year-old right-arm fast bowler has played in five women’s Cricket World Cups since 2005.
