Wasn't Surprised By The Way Shafali Played In Women’s ODI WC Final, Says Lanning
ODI World Cup: Australia’s former captain Meg Lanning said she was not surprised by Shafali Verma’s explosive performance in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup final, saying she realised the youngster was unstoppable while playing vertical bat shots with her usual flair.
Shafali replaced the injured Pratika Rawal just ahead of the semi-final against Australia, and seized her opportunity with a match-winning performance in the final against South Africa at the DY Patil Stadium on November 2.
Opening the innings alongside Smriti Mandhana, she smashed 87 off 78 balls to help India post a formidable 298. She then struck twice in her first seven deliveries to remove Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp to derail South Africa’s chase. The all-round effort proved to be decisive in India’s 52-run victory to win the ODI World Cup for the first time.
