IND-W vs BAN-W 1st Semi-Final Results

6:03 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Shafali Verma receives the award for her fearless batting. She scored a match-winning 64 (40), which included 7 fours and 3 sixes. On battling the conditions during her knock, Shafali Verma admits the humidity got to her out there, to the point where breathing itself became a challenge at times. She says the focus was on staying composed, controlling her breathing, and leaning on grounded strokes as she worked to build her innings. On being asked about the aggression in the Powerplay, she says it was very much by design, pointing out that scoring is simply easier in those first six overs. She sees cashing in during that phase, finding the fours and sixes, as very much her role in the side.

5:56 PM IST Shafali, the fearless - The scorecard flattered India more than the performance deserved. Shafali Verma's 64 off 40 balls anchored the total, surviving three dropped catches and a run-out chance gone begging, an innings gifted almost as much as it was earned. Mandhana fell cheap, and neither Harmanpreet Kaur nor Pratika Rawal ever found fluency, leaving it to Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh down the order to rescue things from looking distinctly ordinary. Bangladesh's seamers, Marufa Akter and Sultana Khatun, leaked runs, but the spinners kept things tight enough to leave 149 within reach despite the imperfections.
