I Just Wanted To Make My Team Win, Says Shafali After Substitute Player Turns Star Of World Cup Triumph
World Cup: On making a late entry into the team as an injury replacement, opener Shafali Verma had said that God has sent her to do something important for India in the Women's World Cup.
On Sunday night, her words proved prophetic as the 21-year-old batter hammered a brilliant 87, scoring her first ODI fifty in three years and that too in the World Cup final. She then came back to claim two wickets for 36 runs to help India beat South Africa by 52 runs and script history by winning their maiden ICC title and third World Cup in the 50-over format.
She became the youngest player to win the Player of the Match in the World Cup final as India won their fifth World Cup title at the senior level in men's and women's sections combined in white-ball cricket.
