    It Was A Masterstroke To Bring Shafali To Bowl, Says Paranjape

    ODI World Cup: Jatin Paranjape, the former India men’s cricketer and national selector, feels the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side did extremely well in keeping the usage of Shafali Verma as a bowler in their 52-run win over South Africa to win the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup under wraps, something which paid off big time.

    In the title clash at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur pulled a rabbit out of the hat in the 21st over when she handed the ball to Shafali, who was more than a handful on the red-soil pitch by bowling slower through the air.

    The move paid off immediately as Shafali dismissed Sune Luus on just her second delivery. In her very next over, she then took out veteran all-rounder Marizanne Kapp to break the back of South Africa’s chase, and were eventually bowled out for 246 in response to India’s 298/7.
