BANW vs INDW Match Preview

Bangladesh Women suffered a defeat in their T20I series against India, losing the match by eight runs and failing to win the series. Facing India's spinners proved to be a difficult task for the Bangladesh batsmen, as they lost five wickets to Deepti Sharma and Minnu Mani. Sultana Khatun's off-spin also proved effective, taking three wickets. Bangladesh's captain, Nigar Sultana, played a responsible innings of 38 runs but her dismissal in the penultimate over proved to be a turning point.

 

In the final over, Shafali Verma took three wickets, including a run-out, securing the victory for India. Despite Nigar's efforts, Bangladesh struggled to score runs consistently and lost wickets regularly. Needing ten runs from the final over, they crumbled and lost four wickets, handing India the series win.

 

India Women registered a crucial victory, taking an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the series. They faced a challenging batting collapse and managed to score only 95 runs, their lowest against Bangladesh in T20Is. Bangladesh's spinners capitalized on favorable conditions and restricted India's scoring opportunities. Amanjot Kaur's cameo provided some impetus to the innings.

 

Bangladesh's bowlers, particularly their spinners, continued to pose difficulties for India throughout the match. Deepti Sharma and Minnu Mani took five crucial wickets, while Sultana Khatun claimed three wickets. Defending a modest target, India's bowlers exploited the spin-friendly pitch, with Deepti Sharma and Shafali Verma being standout performers.

 

India's fielding also played a significant role in their victory, with notable catches from Shorna Akther and Sobana Mostary. India's win secured an unassailable lead in the series and showcased their ability to adapt to challenging conditions. Despite a challenging batting performance, their bowlers and fielders stepped up, demonstrating their skills and clinching an important win over Bangladesh.

Weather Report

The match is scheduled to be played just on the right day with a spell of showers expected to hit Mirpur on the subsequent days. It’s expected to be bright and sunny with temperatures hovering in the mid-thirties. Given that it will be hot and it is a day game, the fitness of the players will be tested. We expect the captain winning the toss to field first. 

 

 

Pitch Report

Overall, the match witnessed a dominant display of spin bowling, with 35 overs of spin bowled, the joint-second-highest in a women's T20I. Sixteen wickets fell to the spinners, underlining their influence on the game. The way the surface has behaved in the series so far hasn’t been too different in the two games and we expect it to further assist spinners in the third one. Given what has happened and the strengths of the two sides, about 130 can be considered to be a par score.
