An all-round show helps India Women get back to winning ways

It was contribution from the top order that helped India Women post a very good total on the board. Shafali Verma (55), Smriti Mandhana (47), and Jemimah Rodrigues (35*) contributed for India as they finished their innings on 159/5.

The bowlers then bowled tight lines and lengths and kept Bangladesh’s batters under constant pressure. Bangladesh Women were restricted to 100 as the women in blue grabbed their fourth win and got back to winning ways after a small hiccup against Pakistan Women.

Bangladesh Women, on the other hand, failed to pick up wickets with the new ball. They conceded too many runs in the first half of the Indian innings.

In their chase of 160, Fargana Hoque (30), Murshida Khatun (21), and Nigar Sultana (36) put in decent shifts with the willow, but it wasn’t enough as India Women ran out comfortable winners. They will hope to grab their third win when they take on Sri Lanka Women in their next fixture.
