Shefali's blast while chasing the target of 212 runs

Talking about the match, Team D, batting first, scored 211 runs for 9 wickets in 50 overs. In this way, Team A got the target of 212 runs, which already seemed easy but due to Shefali's aggressive innings, it became even easier. Even though the opening pair of Team A collapsed for 47 runs, informed Shefali stood at one end, the effect of which was clearly visible.

If things continue like this then Team India may return soon.

Shefali played her last ODI for India in October last year. But looking at his current form and pile of runs in domestic cricket, it would not be wrong to say that he may make a comeback soon. Anyway, during the Ireland series, Captain Smriti had said that Shefali is in the scheme of things of the team.
