Match Summary
Winning the toss, India Women elected to bat first under clear skies. Openers Smriti Mandhana (37 off 19) gave a rapid launch, but it was Shafali Verma who stole the spotlight. Her 100 runs came off just 49 deliveries, featuring 12 fours and 7 sixes, and pushed the scoreboard past the 150‑run mark in the 13th over. The middle order added valuable runs, with contributions from the lower order ensuring India finished at 195‑4 in the full quota of 20 overs.
Bangladesh Women’s chase began nervously. Early wickets fell as India’s bowlers Marufa Akter (1/43 in 4 overs) and Sanjida Akter Meghla (1/25 in 4 overs) kept the pressure on. Dilara Akter tried to steady the innings with a gritty 27 off 23, but wickets kept tumbling. Kranti Gaud (1/20 in 3 overs) and Shree Charani (2/7 in 3 overs) delivered crucial breakthroughs, and Bangladesh were bowled out for 81 in just 15.4 overs.
