Playing Australia Feels Like Competing Against Men, They Are The Best Side: Shafali Verma | Cricket News

[ad_1] Shafali Verma loves hitting the ball out of the park but the joy of slamming an Australian for a boundary is unmatched, says the explosive India opener, who is reminded of the men's team while competing against the stars from Down Under.

After failing a couple of times before, the big-hitting Shafali, who has five WT20I fifties, finally scored her maiden half-century against Australia earlier this week, when she hit a 41-ball 52. Her knock encrusted with six boundaries and three sixes."I love playing against Australia. Aisa lagta hai ki ladkon ke sath hi khel rahe hain (it feels like you ar...

We Had Lot Of Dot Balls, Could Not Rotate Strike: Harmanpreet Kaur On 3rd T20I Loss | Cricket News

[ad_1] Harmanpreet Kaur's India lost to Australia in 3rd T20I© AFPIndia captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Wednesday attributed the 21-run defeat to Australia in the third women's T20 International due to their inability to rotate strike.

"But I think there were few overs where we scored less than 6 overs, that cost us.

[ad_1] Indian batting collapsed like a pack of cards under pressure as Australian women showed clinical precision to record a comfortable 21-run victory in the third T20 International, at Brabourne International Stadium on Wednesday. Australia now lead five-match series 2-1. Chasing a target of 173, India were in cruise control mode at 106 for 2, riding on some cavalier hitting from Shafali Verma (52 off 41 balls) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (37 off 27 balls). The duo had added 73 in just 8.4 overs and 67 off 40 odd balls looked eminently gettable. But, once Shafali was holed out at mid-wicket boundary, there was a slump as India lost four wickets for the addition of 17 runs in less than three overs as the match turned decisively in favour of Southern Stars. India were finally restricte...
