India-W Thrash Bangladesh-W with 8 wickets & 70 balls to spare, Reach Asian Games Final

India-W vs Bangladesh-W 1st Semi Final: The Indian women’s cricket team made a statement, emphatically beating Bangladesh by eight wickets in the Asian Games semifinal at the Pingfeng Cricket Ground.

Pooja Vastrakar wrapped up with 4/17, and Titas Sadhu, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Amanjot Kaur, and Devika Vaidya each took a wicket to dismiss Bangladesh Women for 51 against India Women, their lowest WT20I total. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma were lost as the openers, but India still managed to reach the goal in 8.2 overs, advancing to the final and guaranteeing themselves at least a silver medal.

India will play the winner of the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka match in the final on Monday at the same venue.

Mandhana spearheaded India’s attack as Harmanpreet Kaur, who was suspended for two games after an aggressive fight with the same opponents, took the reins. Cricket fans were on the edge of their seats during the most recent 50-over match between these two competitive sides. A dramatic rematch will be held after the enthralling three-match series finished in a 1-1 deadlock. A chance at silver or gold is guaranteed for the winner on Sunday.

In their previous match against Malaysia, India wowed, putting on a magnificent batting display before the rain decided to ruin the fun. The T20 match had already been cut down to a 15-over-per-side contest, but the weather only allowed for two deliveries in the second inning. Due to their higher rankings, India, who had reached a staggering 173/2 in their allotted 15 overs, was ultimately proclaimed the winner. The Indian team will be hoping to replicate their blistering batting display despite the overcast sky in the distance and the remote possibility of rain delaying the match.
