Bangladesh thrashed by 10 wickets as India reach women’s Asia Cup final
India were at their imperious best as they defeated Bangladesh by 10 wickets in the women’s Asia Cup semi-final at Dambulla on Friday.
Batting first, Bangladesh’s fragile batting order once again got exposed as they lost wickets regularly and managed just 80-8 in 20 overs.
Fast bowler Renuka Singh was the star performer for India with the ball and was rightfully adjudged the player of the match with three wickets for just 10 runs in her four overs.
Captain Nigar Sultana Joty once again was the top scorer with 32 runs from 51 balls and really never got going as wickets fell around her at regular intervals.
In reply, India chased the total down with ease in 11 overs as Smriti Mandhana shone with an unbeaten 55-run innings from just 39 balls.
Mandhana’s opening partner, the hard-hitting Shafali Verma played a more subdued knock of 26 not out from 28 balls.
Radha Yadav was another impressive bowler for India taking three wickets for just 14 runs in her four overs.
