ICC Women's T20 WC: Wolvaardt, Brits shine in RSA's 10-wicket win over WI

South Africa proved to be too strong for West Indies as they romped to a 10-wicket win to begin their campaign in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup on a rousing note here on Friday. Asked to bat first, West Indies were restricted to 118 for six but the total would have been far less than that, had it not been for Stafanie Taylor's unbeaten 41-ball 44. For South Africa, left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba returned career-best figures of 4/29, while Marizanne Kapp ended with 2/14. In reply, South Africa completed the task with 13 balls to spare. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt (59 off 55 balls) and Tazmin Brits (57 off 52 balls), who had earlier in the day pulled off an excellent catch at cover point, got the job done easily for last edition's runners-up. Earlier, South Africa bowlers maintained a tight line and length to force the West Indians into back foot, and the day's first breakthrough came about when Marizanne Kapp had Hayley Matthews (10 off 11 balls) caught behind.

Opting to bat after winning the toss, Pakistan were off to a disastrous start and lost three wickets with just 32 runs on the board in the sixth over. Sri Lanka were on top of the game as the situation became worse for Pakistan

Sense each others feelings just by facial expressions: Shefali on Mandhana

Shafali Verma, the significant other of the blockbuster Indian opening pair, says her no-holds-barred approach goes well with Smriti Mandhana's elegance and both can "sense each others feelings just by our facial expressions" while batting. One of the factors behind the Indian women's cricket team's dominance in recent times has been the success of its openers, and Shafali admits they know how "important" they are to the team's fortunes. "I've been opening with Smriti for the past two-three years, and now we can sense each other's feelings just by our facial expressions while batting. We know each other's strengths and weaknesses, and we give each other positive vibes," Shafali told Star Sports when asked about her on-field relationship with Mandhana. "We understand how important we both are to the team, especially during the powerplay, so we try to perform well for ourselves, our teammates, and the country." The younger partner added, "Smriti di is an exceptional timer of the ball

Women's T20 World Cup: India need to up their game against England

After being put under pressure in their previous two games, India will have no room for error when they take on a formidable England in the Women's T20 World Cup here on Friday. A win against world number two England on Friday will take the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side effectively into the knock-out stage, to be competed among top two teams from Group 1 and 2. The Indians beat arch-rivals Pakistan by seven wickets before notching a more convincing six-wicket win against West Indies earlier this week. While the twin wins put India in a strong position to qualify for the semifinals, it was hard-hitting teenager Richa Ghosh's brilliance which pulled the 'Women in Blue' over the line on both occasions. Against England, the top-order will have to give a better account of themselves. U-19 World Cup-winning captain Shafali Verma has been unable to convert her starts in the tournament so far, giving away her wicket at crucial junctures. Back after nursing a finger injury, Smriti Mandhana loo

The Women's Premier League auction is just around the corner but India are firmly focussed on their T20 World Cup opener against Pakistan as they aim to emulate the U19 girls' title-winning feat, insisted skipper Harmanpreet Kaur. The WPL action is slated to be held on February 13 in Mumbai, a day after India's T20 World Cup opener against Pakistan. "Before that [the auction], we have a very important game and we are just going to focus on that," Harmanpreet said at the T20 World Cup captains' press conference.

These things will keep coming, and as a player, you know what's important for you and how you need to keep your focus. "We are all mature enough and know what is important for us," she added.
