Harmanpreet Kaur was the one to reveal her thoughts regarding the tactical move of introducing Shafali Verma into the attack as a crucial moment of the final. She went on to say that the decision was made by relying on instincts and trust in Shafali’s talent, besides her earlier contributions with the bat. It was a move that shifted the momentum and eventually led India to victory.
“Yeah, I mean when Laura and Sune were batting, they were looking good. saw Shafali standing there, the way she batted, I knew it was her day.

She now wishes the team makes winning a habit, considering that several major tournaments are already scheduled, and the same hunger, unity, and fearless spirit that marked this triumph are to be carried forward.
