Team India began the chase with the same intent they have had in the past two matches against Sri Lanka Women. Opener Shafali Verma looked solid in the past two outings as she stepped up with grace and intent to deliver for her side.

Shafali Verma picked up back-to-back fifties in the bilateral series against Sri Lanka Women, bringing up a 24-ball half-century in the competition. The Indian opener was adjudged the Player of the Match for her heroics in the second T20I at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

The Indian batter now has the most number of 50+ scores before turning 22 in Women's T20Is. Shafali was earlier tied with Lucy Barnett and has now outpaced everyone with the 24-ball half-century.
