Follow the highlights of India vs Nepal, Women's Asia Cup 2024 here.
Shafali Verma's stunning 48-ball 81 help India thrash Nepal by 82 runs in their final group match to secure their semifinal spot at the Women's Asia Cup T20 tournament on Tuesday.
With India shuffling the batting order, Shafali and Dayalan Hemalatha (47) opened the innings and gave India a flying start after stand-in skipper Smriti Mandhana won the toss and opted to bat.
The opening duo smashed its way to 122 in 14 overs to lay the foundation.
Nepal needed to achieve the target in or under 10 overs to surpass Pakistan on net run rate and qualify for the semifinals but they could only manage 96 for nine in their 20 overs, thanks to some superb bowling from the in-form Indian attack.
Deepti Sharma (3/13) was the most successful bowler for India as she snapped three wickets, while her spin colleague Radha Yadav (2/12) and seamer Arundhati Reddy (2/18), playing in place of a rested Pooja Vastrakar, snapped two each.
Pakistan, thus, became the second team to qualify for the semifinals from group A.

Smriti Mandhana, India Captain: We'd like to bat first today. In the last few years, T20 cricket has changed. It's a collective effort, we've looked to take on whatever is in our range. The outfields are quick, the tracks are flat, sometimes even 200 isn't enough. We'll look to trust our process and look to bat. 180 will be great, it's about playing one ball at a time. Harman and Pooja are resting.
Indu Barma, Nepal Captain: We are ready for both. We have some youngsters who are keen to get into the contest. We are ready for every challenge, we look to give our 100%. We have two changes.
