India all-rounder Deepti Sharma struck form with an unbeaten 36 and match-winning 5-19 in India’s 14-run win over South Africa in the fourth T20I on Saturday, crediting renewed self-belief and subtle adjustments to her bowling for ending a prolonged lean run.

Deepti had endured poor form since the T20I series in Australia in February. Even though the hosts had already sealed the series 3-1 with one game to spare, Deepti said: “First is, I always keep believing in myself and second is line and length, which line I have to bowl. And basically today, I was more focused on my offspin ball other than the little faster one,” said the spin-bowling all-rounder after her sterling show on Saturday.
