In the end, the dream of playing in the final of the Asia Cup did not come true for the tigresses of Bangladesh. Negara Sultana Jyoti's team had to face a big loss of 10 wickets against India in the semi-final match. Along with this, India made the feat of playing in the final in every tournament.
Even after winning the toss and deciding to bat, the girls of Bangladesh suffered a lot today. Jyoti and gong managed to score only 80 runs at the end of the stipulated over in the face of India's bowling cannon. India's two openers batted fluently to reach the easy target of 81 runs.
Bangladesh blew away Malaysia in their last match in the group stage. The entire team was over confident in this. Tigresses will do well against India that was the expectation of the audience. But the supporters were disappointed.
Dilara-Mursida-Rabeya could not stand with the bat. The team's personal maximum of 32 runs came from the bat of captain Jyoti. Everyone else has come to the field and taken the path to the dressing room.
India's two openers Shefali Verma and skipper Smriti Mandhana swung the bat with ease in pursuit of an easy target. Smriti also picked up his half-century. She gave great performance to the team throughout the season.
On the other hand, the girls of Bangladesh have performed poorly with the ball as they were fragile with the bat. So India reached the target in just 11 overs.
With this victory, India reached the final stage of the Women's Asia Cup for the ninth time in a row. Their opponents will be either Pakistan or hosts Sri Lanka. The second semi-final of the day will be played at 7:30 pm Bangladesh time.
Summary Score:
Bangladesh: 80/8 (20 overs); Jyoti 32, Swarna 19; Renuka 3-10, Radha 3-14
India: 83/0 (11 overs); Smriti 55*, Shefali 26*; Rumana 0-5, Rabeya 0-10
Result: India won by 10 wickets
Man of the Match: Renuka Singh.
