Bangladesh’s innings never gained momentum, with wickets falling at regular intervals. Nigar Sultana was the♚ standout performer with a gritty 32 runs o💞ff 51 balls, including two boundaries.

Shorna Akter provided some resistance with 19 runs off 18 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to make significant contributions.

Deepti Sharma and Pooja Vastrakar chipped in with a wicket each.

The duo remained unbeaten, steering India to victory in just 11 overs. Mandhana was particularly aggressive, scoring 55 runs off 39 balls, featuring nine boundaries and a six. Shafali supported her well with 26 runs off 28 balls. The Bangladeshi bowlers were unable to create any breakthroughs, with all five bowlers used provin🐲g ineffective against the Indian batters.

India’s comprehensive victory was sealed with Smriti hitting the winning runs, marking a dominant performance in all facets of the game. Renuka was rightfully named the Player of the Match for her exceptional bowling spell that set the tone for India’s victory.
