Shafali out for 21 (10)
Ellyse Perry starts off with a couple of dot balls before Shafali gets a bottom edge to past her stumps and to the boundary behind. Then there is an amazing shot! A square cut for six! Without much footwork. Throwback to Virender Sehwag in 2003.
But then, disaster! Shafali is caught behind. Lived by the sword during her brief innings. Out for 21.

Shafali Verma starts with a bang
Here we go...Megan Schutt swings in the ball into Shafali Verma's pads. Smriti Mandhana watches from the other end. The 1st T20I is underway.
Third ball of the match, Shafali dances down and punches a cover drive through the gap for four. First runs on the board are some combative runs. And the last ball of the match is smashed over cow corner! What an over!
