India vs Bangladesh Women’s (INDW vs BANW) T20 Live Cricket Score Streaming Online, Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 Live Score Updates: After shocking the defending champions in the tournament opener, India will look to continue their momentum against Bangladesh in their second match of the Women’s T20 World Cup in Perth on Monday.
India women successfully defended their paltry total of 132 on Friday against Australia due to their superior bowling performance, spearheaded by Poonam Yadav and Shikha Pandey. Deepti Sharma and Shafali Verma also played their part with the bat. On the other hand, Bangladesh will be hoping to open their account in the tournament on a positive note with former Indian wicketkeeper Anju Jain as their coach. The WACA pitch might help them stun India again as they did in the final of the Asia Cup in 2018 where they won by three wickets.
Highlights
WICKET! Lack of communication in the middle costs India another wicket as Deepti Sharma departs for 11. IND 113/6 in 16.5 overs
Richa Ghosh goes for a big hit, doesn't get the connection right and is caught at the fence by Nahida Akter. IND 111/5 in 16.2 overs
Run Out!! Jemimah is run out after a brilliant piece of work by Nahida Akter. She created indecision with her diving stop at point. Jemimah wanted the run after cracking the full toss away, but was sent back once Deepti saw Nahida make the save. Nahida followed up the effort with a very accurate throw too, and even a dive isn't enough to save Jemimah
That's what a wicket can do, just 5 runs off the over from Rumana Ahmed. Rodrigues is batting on 31(30) and giving her company is Deepti Sharma 2(3). INDW- 83/3 after 11 overs
Bangladesh pick up the big wicket of Harmanpreet Kaur who flashes at a wide one and finds the fielder. She cuts a wide delivery straight into the hands of backward point and once again fails to score big in this World Cup. Panna Ghosh gets another wicket. At the halfway mark, INDW- 78/3
One invites two and there is another misfield at long-on. Once again Rodrigues chips one and Fahima looks to cut it off on the bounce but fumbles on the rope.
Sloppy from the Bangaldeshi women! Rodrigues drives one hard, straight to long-on who allows the ball to run through her legs, onto the rope. A misfield gives India another boundary as they get 7 runs in the over. INDW are 68/2 after 8 overs
Panna Ghosh hands India a huge blow. Shafali Verma. She tried to smoke that down the ground but mistimed that — the ball carrying straight to the fielder at mid-on. Shamima Sultana fumbles but takes the catch in the 3rd attempt. End of the PowerPlay and IND- 54/2 after 6 overs
SIX! Jemimah Rodrigues this time as she dances down the wicket and clears the long-off fence with ease for her first maximum. This is sheer class from the two Indian batters. IND 47/1 in 4.5 overs
The sheer amount of disrespect being shown by Shafali here to Jahanara Alam. She swats her to long-off for a maximum, and then repeats that same shot for another four, and then attacks through long-off for a two. And then she finishes with a mighty boundary straigth down the ground. Shafali races to 29* from just 11 balls. INDW are 34/1 after 3 overs.
Her fourth ball of the innings, and the sixteen-year-old has hit her second six already. Shafali Verma gets on her knee and hits that slog-sweep high over long-on. But Salma Khatun makes amends as she removes Taniya with a brilliant stumping. Nigar Sultana with the dismissal. The batswoman walks away for 2. INDW are 16/1 after 1.5 overs.
In Smriti Mandhana's absence, Taniya Bhatia is opening with Shafali Verma. Jahanara Alam starts the proceedings with the ball, and the first ball is a dot. But, fifth ball of the over, Shafali starts the party early on her second ball as she slams the ball straight out of the park. INDW are 8/0 after the first over.
Murshida Khatun, Shamima Sultana, Sanjida Islam, Nigar Sultana (w), Fargana Hoque, Rumana Ahmed, Salma Khatun (c), Fahima Khatun, Jahanara Alam, Panna Ghosh, Nahida Akter
