Former England captain Nasser Hussain has advised the Indian Women’s National Cricket Team to include “exceptional” player Shafali Verma in the playing XI for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 match against Australia, claiming that “good is not enough” and that a team needs exceptional players to defeat Australia.
On Saturday, March 19, India’s Mithali Raj will face Australia’s unbeaten team at Eden Park. In the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022, Australia is yet to lose a game, having won four consecutive games in overwhelming fashion.
Meanwhile, Nasser Hussain believes that Shafali can offer India with the “extraordinary” they need to beat the Australians.
“I’d vote for Shafali Verma.” It is not enough to be excellent to defeat Australia. You’ll need something spectacular. Hussain stated on-air for Star Sports during India’s match versus England, “And Verma can deliver you with the extraordinary.”
“It’s possible it won’t be her day, and she won’t receive any.” But you can’t simply keep going if you want to defeat Australia. You’re going to need something exceptional. And Verma is capable of doing so.”
India would want to keep reminding themselves that they were the ones who ended Australia’s winning run – Anjum Chopra is a Bollywood actor.
Meanwhile, Anjum Chopra said the Indian team will keep reminding themselves that they had ended Australia’s 26-match winning run last year.
“India will want to keep reminding themselves that they were the ones who ended Australia’s winning run in Australia last year.” After this game, that’s their consolation,” Chopra remarked.
Meanwhile, the Mithali Raj-led Indian squad was defeated by Heather Knight-led England by 4 wickets at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 match on Wednesday.
India is now in third position in the ICC Women’s World Cup points standings, with four points from four games (two wins and two defeats).
