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 last Sunday at Birmingham. 

"I think the knock (against Pakistan) will help me really well because it gave me confidence," Ghosh said on the eve of India''s match against the Netherlands here on Wednesday. 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. The Bengal cricketer was struggling for runs in the run-up to the ICC showpiece, having amassed 0, 6, 8, 4 before she turned it around with a 68 against England at Cardiff in a warm-up match.
