Women's T20 WC: Shafali's Blazing Fifty Powers India To Five-wicket Win Over Bangladesh
T20 World Cup: Opener Shafali Verma struck a scintillating half-century as India chased down a target of 137 with 19 balls to spare and defeated Bangladesh by five wickets in Match 23 of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at Old Trafford in Manchester on Thursday.
Chasing a modest target, India came out with aggressive intent and never allowed Bangladesh's bowlers to settle down. Shafali led the charge from the very first over, smashing two boundaries off Marufa Akter to collect 11 runs and provide India with the ideal start.
The opener continued her assault in the next over, launching a massive six before adding another boundary as India's scoring rate climbed rapidly. At the other end, Smriti Mandhana also looked to attack and struck consecutive boundaries against Marufa. However, her brief stay ended when she attempted another big shot and was caught by Rabeya Khan at cover for eight off six balls.
