Poeshefstroom. Buoyed by the title triumph in the Under-19 World Cup, it is just the beginning for India’s champion batsman Shafali Verma who will aim to replicate the success with the senior team two weeks later. The Women’s T20 World Cup is to be played in South Africa from February 10 and here the Indian Under-19 team created history by winning the first T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Shefali. The 19-year-old Shafali, who is also a part of the senior Indian team, will be looking to make the tour of South Africa one to remember by winning the title for the second time.

After the win, she said, “When I came here, the focus was on the Under-19 World Cup but we have won it. Now all eyes are on the Senior World Cup. I will forget this victory and now focus on the senior World Cup.Shafali was also a part of the Indian team that lost to Australia in the final of the 2020 T20 World Cup. He said that the pain of that defeat still hurts. He said, “The final played in Melbourne was very emotional for me. We could not win that match.

Shafali said, “When I joined the U-19 team, all I thought was that we have to win the World Cup. I used to tell the girls that we have to win and we won.” Wept a lot after losing the cup but now these are tears of happiness. We won what we came to win.” Shefali, who could not hold back her tears at the prize distribution, said, “I tried to hold back tears but could not. I will continue to do well and keep scoring runs for India. But there is no satisfaction with this World Cup itself. This is just the beginning.
