Shafali Verma smashes 71 as Delhi Capitals secure direct qualification into WPL final

The big-hitting Shafali Verma led the way with a blazing 37-ball-71 as DC secured direct qualification into the final of WPL 2024 with a 7-wicket hammering of Gujarat Giants on Wednesday.

In the final on Sunday, the Capitals will play the winner of the eliminator between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The big-hitting Shafali Verma led the way with a blazing 37-ball-71 as a dominant Delhi Capitals secured direct qualification into the final of the Women's Premier League with a 7-wicket hammering of Gujarat Giants on Wednesday.
Table-toppers Delhi Capitals entered the game looking to bag a direct spot in the final and once their bowlers restricted Giants to 126/9 with a disciplined show at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the hosts inched closer to realising their goal.
In the final on Sunday, the Capitals will play the winner of the eliminator between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
As she is wont to, Shafali launched into a furry of boundaries, including hitting as many as five sixes and seven fours, to help her side complete the chase of 127 without much ado.
DC finished the game with as many as 41 balls remaining.
Shafali reached her fifty in just 28 balls. She got to the landmark with a four over extra cover off Mannat Kashyap.
The duo of Shafali and Jemimah Rodrigues (38 not out) then bludgeoned Meghna Singh for 20 runs, and Ashleigh Gardner was also carted for 28 runs in two overs.
Earlier, Delhi Capitals' bowlers produced a fine effort to restrict Gujarat Giants to a modest total.
If it was not for Bharati Fulmali's 36-ball 42 and Kathryn Bryce's unbeaten 28, the Giants would have finished with a much lower total.
South African veteran Marizanne Kapp led the way with fine figures of 2/17 in four overs, bowling beautifully in the powerplay, while there were also two wickets apiece for Shikha Pandey and Minnu Mani.
Gugarat Giants' decision to bat first on winning the toss backfired as they found themselves in a spot of bother at 12/2 in the fourth over, including losing the big wicket of skipper Beth Mooney for a duck to South African all-rounder Kapp in the match's very first over.
Mooney shaped up to flick a length delivery on the leg stump but the ball brushed past her thigh pad before going on to disturb the leg and middle stump.
Dayalan Hemalatha (4) was the next batter to depart, bowled by Jess Jonassen as Delhi Capitals rejoiced the early success.
Another setback awaited the Giants as they lost Laura Wolvaardt (7), the successful bowler being Kapp again as the visitors slumped to 16 for three in the beginning of the fifth over.
Unable to force the pace, Wolvaardt was under pressure and succumbed in the face of some disciplined bowling by Kapp.
Experienced Australian player Ashleigh Gardner (12) and Phoebe Litchfield (21) looked to steady the innings but having added 23 runs for the fourth wicket, the former perished to a lovely flighted delivery from off-spinner Mani.
The Giants were tottering at 39 for four in the ninth over and the situation became worse for them when Radha Yadav pulled off a nice catch to send back Litchfield off the bowling of Mani.
At 48 for five in the 11th over, the Giants were in a hopeless situation but Fulmali and Kathryn Bryce put on 68 runs to help the side cross 120 and give their bowlers something to defend.

#AnjumChopra #ShafaliVerma #INDvBAN

<h2>Former Indian captain Anjum Chopra advised Shafali to work on her technical deficiencies in the upcoming games.</h2>

Former Indian captain Anjum Chopra was not happy with Indian opener Shafali Verma's display against Bangladesh in the 1st T20I and expressed her disappointment via her youtube channel.
Shafali Verma was sent back to the pavilion for a duck in India's 7-wicket win against Bangladesh on July 9.
Chopra said, "Shafali Verma committed the same mistake once again. She played around the front pad and got out lbw without opening her account. It will create an impact that she got out for a duck and the bigger impact will be created because of the way she got out. It means you have not worked on yourself and if you have done, it was not enough."
Anjum further advised Shafali to work on her technical deficiencies in the upcoming matches.

 Shafali Verma's sight is set on Women's T20 World Cup after U-19 World Cup triumph

Shafali told ICC that she will look to take the winning confidence and will now shift her focus towards winning the senior World Cup as well.

Not content with the U-19 T20 World Cup triumph, batting sensation Shafali Verma has already set her sights on replicating the success with the senior women's team in less than two weeks' time.
She will get her chance when the Women's T20 World Cup gets underway from February 10 in South Africa, the same country where the country just won the inaugural U-19 world tournament.
Shafali, 19, has already established herself in India's senior side and wants to make the visit to South Africa even more memorable with another silverware.
"No, the big one also," Shafali said when asked if the U-19 trophy was the only one she was hoping to take back from South Africa.
"I am someone who focuses on task at hand. When I entered the Under-19s, I only focused on winning the Under-19 Cup and we have won that today (Sunday).
"I will look to take this winning confidence with me and win the senior World Cup. I will try and forget this and get involved with the senior setup and gel with the team and win the World Cup," she was quoted as saying by the ICC.
India on Sunday won their maiden ICC title in women's cricket as a bunch of supremely talented teenagers lifted the inaugural U-19 World Cup with a seven-wicket victory over England.
The Shafali-led India squad managed to do what their seniors could not by clearing the final hurdle in a global event.
India first bundled out England for 68 in 17.1 overs and then returned to knock off the paltry target in 14 overs to lift the coveted trophy.
Shafali was part of India's squad that fell at the final hurdle at the 2020 T20 World Cup, when Australia defeated the side by 85 runs in front of more than 85,000 fans at the MCG.
She said she still feels the pain from the loss.
"Melbourne was a very emotional day for me in that final game, we didn't win the game," Shafali recalled.
"When I joined the Under-19 team, I'm just thinking, 'you know, we have to win this Cup.' I'm just telling all the girls, 'We have to win this Cup, we are here for the Cup.' "We had lost the World Cup and it was tears of sadness. Today, they were tears of happiness because we achieved what we came here for.
"I tried controlling it but it couldn't happen. I will look at this as a big achievement and look to use this to learn something more. I will try to score more runs for India and am not going to be satisfied with this Cup. This is just the beginning.
