In the five-match series, Bharti had scored a 30-ball 42 in the 5th encounter. Born in Amravati, Bharti, daughter of Shrikrushna and Jyoti, is a right-handed batter and right-arm medium-fast bowler who has emerged as a powerful finisher in domestic and franchise cricket.

The Indian team will be led by Harmanpreet Kaur with Smriti Mandhana being her deputy. Mandhana, ShafaliVerma andJemimah Rodrigues are expected to form the top three while the inclusion of Bharti, who did an impressive job lower down the order in theWomen’s Premier League, will complete the batting line-up along with other finishers such as Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma.
