India's Batting Needs Work on Turning Pitches, Says Shafali

India's opening batter Shafali Verma has called for a thorough review of the team's batting unit following the Women's Asia Cup encounter against Thailand in Dubai, despite the emphatic nature of the victory.

While India's dominant 94-run win over Thailand in the tournament's opening match showcased the side's overall strength, Shafali expressed concern that the batting lineup needs to address vulnerabilities when facing spinners on pitches conducive to turn.

The opener's assessment comes as India prepares for stiffer challenges ahead in the continental tournament, where conditions in the UAE are expected to favour spin bowlers as the tournament progresses.

Shafali's comments reflect the Indian team's proactive approach to identifying and rectifying potential weaknesses early in the competition, even as they maintain momentum with a comprehensive opening victory.

The focus on batting assessments on turning pitches underscores the team's determination to shore up its middle order and ensure consistency across different pitch conditions during the Asia Cup campaign.
