Women's Asia Cup 2022: India beat Bangladesh by 59 runs, consolidate spot in semis

The Indian women's team on Saturday defeated the Bangladesh side by 59 runs at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet. The women in blue have belted their fourth match of the tournament and have consolidated their spot for the semis.

In the match, India made three changes. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, D Hemalatha, and Radha Yadav were rested today while Shafali Verma, Kiran Navgire, and Sneh Rana made comeback in the Playing XI. In Kaur's



absence, Mandhana led the team. 

After winning the toss, India opted to bat and their regular openers- Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma took the field. Both the players played a brilliant knock and stitched a 96-run stand before Mandhana was run out on 47. Verma, however, continued for a bit longer but she too went back after making 55. Wickets tumbled a bit and Bangladesh pulled things back, while Jemimah Rodrigues ensured India finished at 159.
