After winning the toss and deciding to bat first, India Women
got off to a blazing start courtesy of their openers Shafali Verma and stand-in
skipper Smriti Mandhana. India Women blazed away to 91 in the first 10 overs
and lost their skipper thanks to a run-out. Mandhana scored 47 off 38 balls.
Shafali Verma blazed her way to her 4th T20I fifty as she made 55
off 44 balls. India lost their way in the end overs as they managed only 68
runs off the last 10 overs for the loss of five wickets. It was Jemimah Rodrigues’
unbeaten 35 off 24 balls and a cameo from Deepti Sharma who scored 10 off 5
balls along with 7 extras by the Bangladesh Women took the total to a competitive 159/5 in 20 overs.
The Bangladesh Women's bowlers came back with the ball after giving away 91 runs in the first 10 overs. They gave away only 68 runs and picked up 5 wickets in the last 10 overs of the Indian innings. Rumana Ahmed who was brought in the last ten overs to bowl did the star turn as she picked up 3 wickets for 27 runs in 3 overs. She picked up 2 wickets in 2 balls and almost got a hat trick only to drop a catch of her own bowling in the follow-through on the hat-trick ball. The other wicket was taken by Salma Khatun. Fahima Khatun and Shanjida Akter went wicketless but kept it tight as they went at less than run a ball. A few of their bowlers went the distance, but they came back well with the ball only to show absolutely no intent with the bat.
A win for India Women over Bangladesh Women by 59 runs to remain at the top of the points table and have one foot in the door in the Last 4 ahead of their final group clash on Monday afternoon against Thailand Women. Stick around for the post-match presentation ceremony that shall come your way soon.
