Shafali Verma once again showed her match-winning prowess with an attractive 55 off 44 balls as India out-batted Bangladesh by 59 runs to win their fourth match and clinch a semi-final spot in the Women’s Asia Cup T20 in Sylhet on Saturday.
After an indifferent batting show in the defeat against Pakistan, the ‘Women In Blue’ put up a much improved performance scoring 159 for 5, largely due to a 96-run opening stand between Shafali and stand-in skipper Smriti Mandhana (47 off 38 balls).
Credit also goes to Jemimah Rodrigues, whose 35 not out off just 24 balls helped the Indian team score nearly 160.
