The highlight of her innings came in the ninth over when the 19-year-old hit Asha Sobhana for 6, 4 and 6 and looked so compact in her batting. She never put a foot wrong and waited for the loose balls to unleash her fury on the opposition.

Shafali, who lead India to the inaugural U-19 T20 World Cup title earlier in the year, didn’t had a good senior T20 World Cup last month. In the five matches she played, Shafali could manage just 102 runs with a best of 33 not out.

In the U-19 T20 World Cup, Shafali had scored 172 runs in seven games with a best of 78.
