Shafali Verma Missed A Century
Shafali Verma played an attractive inning of 84 runs in 45 balls, hitting ten fours and four mighty sixes. Shafali was fearlessly playing her shots from the first ball, and it seemed that the first century of WPL would come to her name. But this could not happen. Shafali had to lose her wicket in an attempt to go ahead and hit a big shot by Heather Knight. Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh caught his catch.
Meg Lanning Also Played A Strong Innings
Delhi Capitals captain Meg Lanning also played a brilliant inning. Lanning, who shared a 162-run partnership in 14.3 overs with Shafali Verma, scored 72 runs in 43 balls, hitting 14 fours.
When Meg Lanning and Shafali were at the crease, Delhi Capitals’ score seemed to be going around 250, but after both were dismissed one after the other, Delhi Capitals could score 223 runs at the loss of 2 wickets. Although this score is also huge, it will not be easy for Bangalore to get it.
