Asia Cup 2018: Bangladesh beat India to hold Women’s Asia Cup Title

Bangladesh women’s cricket team beat Indian team by three wickets and clinched their first Asia Cup title. Since it was a close encounter as Bangladesh were needed 2 runs in the last ball. Bangladeshi Batsmen Jahanara Alam became the nightmare for the Indian team, played a shot on the last match of the ball, bowled by Harmanpreet Kaur and took 2 runs. A poor start from India resulted in a flurry of wickets first up, but a partnership between the powerful Harmanpreet and Jhulan Goswami gave them some score to defend. The Indian bowlers started off unsuccessfully, and only got their first breakthrough at the score of 35. But Poonam Yadav presented a fine show of crafty and miserly leg-break to decimate the top-order. She was one of the main reasons this game got to the last over.
