As Bangladesh spinners spun a web around Indian batters, the Women in Blue innings accounted for 66 dot balls. The Indian batters apart from falling victim to some brilliant bowling and fielding were also guilty of poor shot selection and failing to rotate the strike.
In reply, Bangladesh too kept losing regular wickets but skipper Nigar Sultana led the chase from the front with a gritty 38 but her dismissal at the hands of Deepti Sharma in the penultimate over sealed the game for India.
Shafali Verma then took three wickets in the final and there was a run out also as Bangladesh were bowled out for 87.
On Thursday, the target for the Indian batters will be to improve their batting against spin bowlers. Most importantly they need to get the basics right. Get the singles and doubles, pile the pressure on the hosts and make the most of the loose deliveries.
Bangladesh on the other hand will be on the hunt for a consolation win.
India XI: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Yastika Bhatia(w), Deepti Sharma, Devika Vaidya, Amanjot Kaur, Pooja Vastrakar, Minnu Mani, Rashi Kanojiya
