LEEDS, England \u2014 Shafali Verma answered doubts again about her Twenty20 production and reliability with a milestone 55 runs in a big India win over the Netherlands at the Women\u2019s World Cup on Wednesday.<\/p>

In their first ever T20 matchup, India posted its highest T20 World Cup total of 209-5 and limited the Dutch to 114 for a win by 95 runs, India\u2019s biggest by runs in tournament history.<\/p>\n

On the same Headingley pitch earlier, Australia also remained unbeaten after restricting Bangladesh to 77-8 and winning by nine wickets in less than 10 overs.<\/p>\n

Injuries also grabbed headlines. Australia\u2019s Phoebe Litchfield, who opened the tournament with 50 against South Africa, was out for three games with a quad issue and Ash Gardner missed the Bangladesh win with an ankle sprain.<\/p>\n

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss two games after re-injuring her left calf. She retired on 48 against Ireland on Tuesday. And India allrounder Shreyanka Patil had to be carted off after possibly twisting her ankle on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Verma came to the World Cup averaging 23.13 runs this year compared to 52.12 last year when she restored her big-hitting reputation. Then she was out for 6 against Pakistan but raised her first World Cup fifty against the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

She happened to be dropped at cover at the same time as reaching 50 off 34 balls, and she was out for 55 including 10 boundaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy to be back with some runs. I just practiced hard to get my shots again,\u201d Verma said. \u201cWhen balls were not coming on I just went for singles so it was a mature innings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her opening partnership with Smriti Mandhana ended at 115 in the 12th over. Mandhana hit four boundaries in a row off Silver Siegers and made back-to-back World Cup fifties off 36 balls. She was out for 74 off 47 in the 16th.<\/p>

Topping off Verma\u2019s day, she became only the third player in a Women\u2019s World Cup game to score a fifty and take three wickets after the West Indies\u2019 Hayley Matthews and South Africa\u2019s Sune Luus.<\/p>\n

Verma\u2019s off-spin took 3-20 and slow left-armer Shree Charani grabbed 4-19 including three wickets in one over as the Netherlands collapsed from 96-3 to 114 all out in 17.3 overs.<\/p>\n

Australia replied to Bangladesh\u2019s 77-8 with 78-1 in 9.3 overs. Next for the six-time champion is newcomer the Netherlands on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Georgia Voll responded to her duck on World Cup debut against South Africa with an unbeaten 45 off 32 balls including a six back over the bowler\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

On a seamer\u2019s pitch under overcast skies, Kim Garth took the first two Bangladesh wickets in the powerplay including Juairiya Ferdous, who scored 50 against the Netherlands but was pinned on 8.<\/p>\n

Also taking two wickets were captain Sophie Molineux and Ellyse Perry, the player of the match.<\/p>\n

At 27-5 in the eighth over Bangladesh was at risk of eclipsing its own World Cup record low total of 46. But it passed that mark in the 15th over.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been looking for a few players like power hitters,\u201d captain Nigar Sultana said. \u201dIt\u2019s pretty difficult to find batters like that.\u201d<\/p>
