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.
