Women’s World Cup | ‘Feel bad for Pratika... but I’m also trusting myself,’ says Shafali ahead of semifinal

Almost exactly a year after her last ODI outing in India blues, Shafali Verma finds herself back in the national set-up — this time with a shot at redemption on the grandest stage. The 21-year-old was drafted into the squad as Pratika Rawal’s injury replacement ahead of India’s Women’s ODI World Cup semifinal against defending champion Australia at the DY Patil Stadium on Thursday.

Having joined the team after being informed of her selection while with the Haryana squad for the Senior Women’s T20 tournament in Surat, Shafali admitted that the circumstances were bittersweet.
