Not content with the U-19 T20 World Cup triumph, batting sensation Shafali Verma has already set her sights on replicating the success with the senior women's team in less than two weeks' time.

She will get her chance when the Women's T20 World Cup gets underway from February 10 in South Africa, the same country where the country just won the inaugural U-19 world tournament.

Shafali, 19, has already established herself in India's senior side and wants to make the visit to South Africa even more memorable with another silverware.

"No, the big one also," Shafali said when asked if the U-19 trophy was the only one she was hoping to take back from South Africa.

"I am someone who focuses on task at hand. When I entered the Under-19s, I only focused on winning the Under-19 Cup and we have won that today (Sunday).

"I will look to take this winning confidence with me and win the senior World Cup. I will try and forget this and get involved with the senior setup and gel with the team and win the World Cup," she was quoted as saying by the ICC.

India on Sunday won their maiden ICC title in women's cricket as a bunch of supremely talented teenagers lifted the inaugural U-19 World Cup with a seven-wicket victory over England.

The Shafali-led India squad managed to do what their seniors could not by clearing the final hurdle in a global event.

India first bundled out England for 68 in 17.1 overs and then returned to knock off the paltry target in 14 overs to lift the coveted trophy.

Shafali was part of India's squad that fell at the final hurdle at the 2020 T20 World Cup, when Australia defeated the side by 85 runs in front of more than 85,000 fans at the MCG.

She said she still feels the pain from the loss.

"Melbourne was a very emotional day for me in that final game, we didn't win the game," Shafali recalled.

"When I joined the Under-19 team, I'm just thinking, 'you know, we have to win this Cup.' I'm just telling all the girls, 'We have to win this Cup, we are here for the Cup.'

"We had lost the World Cup and it was tears of sadness. Today, they were tears of happiness because we achieved what we came here for.

"I tried controlling it but it couldn't happen. I will look at this as a big achievement and look to use this to learn something more. I will try to score more runs for India and am not going to be satisfied with this Cup. This is just the beginning."

team of the tourney

India's trophy-winning captain Shafali Verma, her opening partner Shweta Sehrawat and leg-spinner Parshavi Chopra have been included in the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup team of the tournament.

Shafali was at her destructive best with the bat and her tactical best as captain throughout the tournament. She would have liked to be more consistent with the bat but the rate at which her runs came (at 193.25) made up for it. She was the third-highest run-getter in the tournament with 172 runs. Shafali also chipped in with handy overs, scalping four wickets in seven games at an economy rate of just 5.04.

Shweta shone the brightest as the Indian vice-captain started the tournament with a classy 92 not out against South Africa, setting the tone for the rest of the tournament. She eventually finished as the highest run-scorer in the tournament with 297 runs at an average of 99 and a strike rate of 139.43. Parshavi had a slow start to the tournament, picking up only two wickets in India's first three games. However, she made up for it at the business end of the tournament and finished as the second-highest wicket-taker with 11 wickets in six games.

The team of the tournament has England captain Grace Scrivens appointed as skipper, who also took the Player of the Tournament award, and is joined by compatriots, leg-spinner Hannah Baker and seam bowler Ellie Anderson.

Others who make up the team of the tournament are New Zealand batter Georgia Plimmer, Sri Lanka all-rounder Dewmi Vihanga, Bangladesh's big-hitting batter Shorna Akter, South Africa wicketkeeper Karabo Meso, Australia's pace bowler Maggie Clark and Pakistan's left-arm spinner Anosha Nasir, who is slotted in as 12th man.
