In the subsequent over, Shafali continued the trend by hitting three fours as well. In the fifth over, the 18-year-old scored the first maximum of the Indian innings.
Shafali was the aggressor since she played with the opposition and pushed limits during the partnership. She rounded up to fifty with a four in style.
In her ferocious 34-ball innings, Shafali sent the ball to the fence 12 times and over it four times, making the UAE bowlers look helpless. Shafali’s blistering knock came to an end when she was caught at long-off after smashing three sixes and a four in the course of five balls.
Sehrawat, who finished the last game unbeaten on 92, excelled in the sheet anchor position. She raised her second consecutive half-century and appeared completely in charge.
The wicketkeeper batter Richa Ghosh also joined the party and played a quick-fire 29-ball 49 to help India reach 219-run mark.
