Meghna Singh to Shafali Verma, out Caught by Phoebe Litchfield!! Meghna breaks this opening stand. Smart bowling from her. She managed to land the slower ball unlike early on when she gifted a full toss. Shafali was completelt deceived as she went through with the heave and miscued it towards deep mid-wicket, Litchfield settled under it and took a well-judged catch. It was not an easy one but Litchfield never looked like dropping it. Shafali Verma c Phoebe Litchfield b Meghna Singh 40(27) [4s-3 6s-3]
