Highlights

11:58(IST)

WICKET: Deepti Sharma (4) tries to up the scoring rate in the seventh over but Jahanara Alam has gone through her defenses and clean bowled her. 

11:53(IST)

End of the powerplay in the Indian innings and once again the sixth over has been a rather quiet one for the batting side. Five runs coming by means of singles and twos with no boundaries for quite some time. India are 21/1 after 6 overs. 

11:50(IST)

Five overs done in the final in the Indian innings and the defending champions are finding the going pretty tough. Deepti Sharma and Mithali Raj are unable to force their shots through the gaps so far and have to be content with just singles. The fifth over saw just two singles and a wide added to the Indian score which is at 16/1. 

11:46(IST)

End of yet another over and it is a good one again for Bangladesh as they have broken the opening partnership with some good fielding. That apart a wide on the first ball, a couple of runs before Mandhana was run-out and a last ball single to Deepti Sharma were the only runs conceded. The fielding side is giving nothing away to India who are 13/1 after 4 overs and are under pressure. 

11:42(IST)

WICKET: Smriti Mandhana (7) is run out as she tries to steal a quick third run after Mithali Raj had played the ball down to third man of the bowling of Salma Khatun.

11:40(IST)

A very economical third over for Bangladesh with Nahida conceding just one run. Mandhana did try to get her away through the off-side for runs on more than one occasion but has not been able to find the gaps. India are 9/0 after 3 overs. 

11:38(IST)

After two overs, India have got their first boundary of the match as Mandhana drove it away through the covers. From the looks of it she will once again be the more aggressive batswoman in the partnership with Raj holding forte at the other end. 

11:33(IST)

End of the first over in the final with Nahida Akter starting proceedings for Bangladesh. India's Mithali Raj and Smriti Mandhana play out the first over without risks and have both opened their accounts with singles. India are 2/0 after 1 over. 

11:32(IST)

Bangladesh Women Playing XI: Shamima Sultana(w), Ayasha Rahman, Fargana Hoque, Sanjida Islam, Fahima Khatun, Jahanara Alam, Nigar Sultana, Rumana Ahmed, Salma Khatun(c), Khadija Tul Kubra, Nahida Akter

11:28(IST)

India Women Playing XI: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Mithali Raj, Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, Veda Krishnamurthy, Anuja Patil, Jhulan Goswami, Taniya Bhatia(w), Ekta Bisht, Shikha Pandey, Poonam Yadav

11:08(IST)

TOSS: India have won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh in the final

10:57(IST)

While Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana will hold the key in terms of batting for the Indian team, among the bowlers Ekta Bisht and Punam Yadav will be the trump cards as they look for revenge against the Bangladesh side. 

10:47(IST)

Preview: The Indian team will look to make it seven out of seven titles when they lock horns against Bangladesh in the final of the Women's Asia Cup T20 in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. India have been the most successful team in the history of the competition, winning all six titles since the tournament's inception in 2004. While for Bangladesh, this will be their maiden appearance in the final. The first four editions of the tournament were One-Day Internationals and were played in Sri Lanka (2004), Pakistan (2005), India (2006) and Sri Lanka (2008) respectively. While the last two editions were T20Is and were played in China (2012) and 2016 (Thailand) respectively — with Indian emerging out as winners in all of them. The Indian eves will now look to reach the 'seventh heaven' by beating the surprise package of the tournament Bangladesh, who have consistently punched above their weight to enter the final by finishing second in the group, ahead of the likes of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. However, Harmanpreet and Co cannot commit the mistake of taking Bangladesh lightly as Salma and her bunch of giant-slayers have shown in the tournament that on their day, they are more than capable of beating anyone. In the ninth match of the tournament, Bangladesh scripted history as they thrashed India by 7 wickets and registered their first ever win over their Indian counterparts, across any format of the game. Following this historic win, Bangladesh star Rumana Ahmed told ESPNcricinfo: "The dream has always been to come close to beating a team like India. That we've beaten them is a reality. When we arrived at the team hotel, the Pakistan players congratulated us in the lobby. We beat them the other day, and today they were congratulating us for beating India." This victory in the group stage went a long way in helping Bangladesh enter the final, however, form and previous records both state that India are outright favourites to lift the cup once again over their less-illustrious rivals. India sealed a spot in the title clash by comprehensively beating arch-rivals Pakistan by seven wickets in the virtual semi-finals on Saturday. Apart from the minor blip the players suffered against Bangladesh — which was their first ever loss in Asia Cup history — the Indian stars have played good consistent cricket right throughout the course of the tournament. Harmanpreet Kaur is the highest run-scorer of the tournament, having scored 100 runs in 3 innings. While Smriti Mandhana and Mithali Raj have also chipped in with runs when the team has needed them. (Mithali slammed 97* in the first match of the tournament against Malaysia — matches against whom the ICC recognises as Minor League matches and not T20Is). Moving onto the bowling department, Ekta Bist's spin is ruling the roost in Kuala Lumpur as her three-wicket performance helped her win the player of the match against Pakistan in the virtual semi-final, her third on the trot in the tournament. Ekta is currently sitting pretty at the third spot in the list of most number of wickets taken in the tournament. Meanwhile, Poonam Yadav has also bowled well for the ‘Women in Blue’ as she has managed to pick up one wicket each in the three matches that she has played thus far. Both India and Bangladesh finished with 8 points in five matches to seal their respective places in the final of the competition. However, the gulf in class in very apparent and that is something that the players recognise too. "It hurts when you have to wait for your chances because you're the ninth-ranked team. Teams like India, Pakistan - they're in the top eight and play (ICC Women's Championship) matches all around the year. It's like you're made to feel you're not good enough, but I hope this goes some way towards changing that perception," Rumana said. Although, Bangladesh will be no push-overs in this David versus Goliath clash, the onus will be on them to show the world that the historical victory that they scripted against the mighty Indians few day ago was no fluke.
