Keep it simple. That was the Shafali Verma-led Indian team’s mantra which worked in their favour to win the inaugural ICC Women’s U-19 T20 World Cup in South Africa on Sunday. In a one-sided final, India beat England by seven wickets at Potchefstroom, South Africa. Former India off-spinner and the team’s head coach, Nooshin Al Khadeer revealed: “We kept things very simple. Every player was aware of their role. All the [support] staff members were on the same page in taking decisions and backed each other,” Khadeer told mid-day from Potchefstroom on Monday.
