Shafali Verma To Lead Against South Africa

Women in Blue is all set to play a 5 T20I Match Series against South Africa starting from 27th December to 04th January. This T20I Series would serve as a stepping stone for both sides. All the 5 matches of the Series would be played at Tuks Oval, Pretoria. All eyes would be on the dashing Shafali Verma who has taken the World Cricket by surprise with her scintillating striking ability.

Squad: Shafali Verma (Captain), Shweta Sehrawat (Vice-Captain), Richa Ghosh (WK), G Trisha, Soumya Tiwari, Sonia Mehdiya, Hurley Gala, Hrishita Basu (WK), Sonam Yadav, Mannat Kashyap, Archana Devi, Parshavi Chopra, Titas Sadhu, Falak Naz, Shabnam MD, Shikha, Najla CMC, Yashashree.

Great Chance For India

The Women in Blue is placed alongside with South Africa, UAE and Scotland in Group D. The team would undoubtedly benefit a lot by playing a T20I Series against South Africa. The U19 T20 World Cup squad looks a bit threatening as they have got Richa Ghosh and Shweta Sehrawat. The team should not take the likes of Scotland and UAE lightly as a couple of losses can end their tournament as only the top 3 teams will progress to the Super Six Round.
