India’s women’s cricket team lost to England by five wickets on Wednesday. With this defeat, India lost the three-match ODI series. With this one-day series, India’s strongest batsman Shafali Verma debuted in this format. Shafali was unable to do anything special in the first ODI, but in the second match he entertained the fans with his batting. Shafali played an innings of 44 off 55 balls and this time he hit seven boundaries. However, the innings ended in an unfortunate way, as Sophie Ecclestone was quickly stumped by Amy Allen Jones.
Since Shafali was dismissed, she has been compared to Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a special case. Originally, Shafali did her best to save her wicket, with both legs fully extended. Shafali seemed to have reached the wicket, but after seeing the replays, the third umpire dismissed her. If Shafali was on the wicket, India’s score could have reached 250.

Dhoni has done so in a match of his time, despite saving his wicket. Talking about the match between the Indian women’s team and England, the Indian team was all out for 221 and England won the match after losing five wickets.
