After being put in to bat first, Bangladesh received an early jolt in the very first over as India’s Shabnam Shakil got rid of Mosammat Eva on the very third ball of the first innings. From then on, there was no recovery for the Bangladesh batters as Vaishnavi Sharma ripped through their batting, claiming three wickets, along with contributions from Joshitha V J and Gongadi Trisha.
Chasing 65 runs, India got off to a decent start, provided by Gongadi Trisha but lost opener G Kamalini in the fourth over. However, undeterred Trisha went on to score a 31-ball 40 runs knock before being dismissed in the seventh over. Captain Niki Prasad hit the winning runs as she slammed a boundary to Bangladesh’s Jannatul Maoua, taking India over the line in 7.1 overs.
India Women will next play against Scotland Women on January 28 and will look to win the match to go into the semifinals as an unbeaten team.
