Trisha’s departure brought Sanika Chalke to the Crease and the duo led to comfortable chase in the match. Sisodia was named as the Player of the Match.
“I bowled on the same spot and let the ball do the work. I bowled more to batters instead of doing single-wicket practice,” said player-of-the-match Sisodia.
“It helps me. I need a batter in front of me to try new things. The final is the wish and that’s the goal for all of us here,” she added.
India remains unbeaten in the tournament so as South Africa. It will be interesting contest as both sides will be aiming for an ultimate glory.
India and South Africa will play in the final match of the Women’s T20 World Cup on February 29 at Bayuemas Oval.
