India vs Bangladesh highlights, Women's Asia Cup 2022: Shafali Verma's all-round show guides India to semi-finals

After securing their place in the semi-finals of the Asia Cup 2022, Team India will play their final league fixture against Thailand at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Monday.

Indian opener Shafali Verma smashed a quick-fire 55 and followed it up with her career-best bowling figures. "I am always ready to give my best for the team (with the bat and ball). It was a bit difficult pitch for batting as the ball kept low. I have put in a lot of hardwork, want to thank my family and friends for their support. We are very happy with our performance, everyone played really well," Shafali said after the match.

"It was disappointing in the last match. It's good to comeback after that loss, really proud of the girls. Today it was a total team performance. Shafali batted well, and also Jemimah played well. We could have scored 10 runs runs more while batting. We had to keep bowling dot balls, and we had to wait for their batters to make mistakes, which they did. Our bowlers bowled really well," Mandhana said after the match.

A massive 59-run win over Bangladesh has paved the way for Team India to enter the semi-finals of the Asia Cup 2022. Shafali Verma and Deepti Sharma shared 4 wickets to make sure the Team India finish ahead of the hosts in the 20-over contest.
