Indian team had managed to qualify for WC T20 semifinals purely because of the starts provided by young Shefali Verma and good bowling display by the spinners lead by Poonam Yadav and not to forget the seamer Shika Pandey who held her nerves while bowling the last over against NZ during their heroic chase. I am sure that other teams might have got the clue about tackling Poonam’s slow leg breaks by now. India has a brilliant chance to lift the WC however few things need to be sorted out before the upcoming semifinal. Smriti Mandana needs to protect her wicket especially when Shefali is going hammer and tongs during the power play. Once this period is successfully negotiated, based on the number of runs scored during power play, the duo needs to target a score in the excess of 160 which is very much possible with a odd boundary every over. With Harman Preet waiting to explode after three successive failures and Jermimah , Tanya, Veda etc. capable of chipping in with valuable contributions, any score less than 160 will be under performance and may give opposition a chance to shatter the dream.
