• 20 Sept 2026, 11:58:06 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Verma does it off the last ball

• 20 Sept 2026, 11:34:24 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Bad fielding

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Sultana at mid-off just let it go. It was an aerial shot from Harman. Sultana at least should have stopped it. Marufa Akter is furious, understandably so. One more boundary, this time from Shafali. Over mid-off. She follows it up with a massive six over deep midwicket. Excellent pull. Great over already for India. Wait, one more six. Over long-on. Plenty of power into that shot. India 150/ 2 after 15 overs. Shafali (102) has now hit maximum T20I sixes for aIndia.

• 20 Sept 2026, 11:27:49 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Another sweep and another four. Off the first ball from Rebiya Khan, in the 14th over. Seems like Shafali Verma has been instructed to hang around. Not to be too adventurous. Not sure if that's the right thing to do. India 128/2 after 14 overs

• 20 Sept 2026, 11:20:29 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Finally a boundary from Harman

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: 100 up

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Harmanpreet is also struggling. India 101/2 after 11 overs. It appears Shafali is playing on a different pitch. Kamalini strugged too. 4 runs off nine balls for the Indian captain. Can she up the ante in the next few overs?

• 20 Sept 2026, 11:12:04 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Shafali fifty

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: She does in style with a six. India 97/2 after 10 overs. She has taken 24 balls for her fifty. In the Asia Cup recently, she had hit three fifties and in the Asian Games opener against Japan she had scored 40 not out off just 15 balls. Purple patch for sure.

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Kamalini goes

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Goes for a sweep shot, finds a fielder at deep midwicket. She was really struggling. She made 3 off 10 balls. Can you believe it? Anyway, India Harmanpreet Kaur is next. India 86/2 after 9 overs. All of a sudden they have gone quiet. Kamalini fell in the the similar manner as she had against Japan, in a manner of speaking. Just that it was the long-on fielder.

• 20 Sept 2026, 11:04:01 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Quiet two overs

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: The momentum is of course broken with the Mandhana wicket. Gunalan Kamalini is the No.3 and naturally she will take some time to settle down. Just as we wrote that, Shafali picks up another six on the legside. India 85/1 after 8 overs.

• 20 Sept 2026, 10:57:12 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: India 72/1 after powerplay

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Smriti gets in on the act

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: A four and a six off back-to-back balls. Wait, there is another four. India 61/0 after five overs. Rabeya Khan has no answers to Smriti's assault. The pitch is really playing well.

• 20 Sept 2026, 10:48:29 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Two sixes from Shafali

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Spin introduced

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Verma picks up a four too, aerial shot over the covers. That's how Shanjida Akter Meghla has been welcomed. Later in the over, Verma picks up a massive six over long-on too. She is sighting the ball real well. 13 from the over. India 19/0 after 2 overs.

• 20 Sept 2026, 10:30:44 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Mandhana to open today

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Against Japan, she didn't bat. Today she has walked out in the company of Shafali Verma. And she off the mark off her second ball.

India 6/0 after the first over.

• 20 Sept 2026, 10:28:26 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: National anthems underway

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: India first. Players are looking very serious. Not chirpy at all like they were at the Asia Cup recently during the playing of their national anthem. It's Bangladesh's turn now. Their players are pretty much the same. Are there some Asian Games guidelines as to how to behave during anthems? One wonders.

• 20 Sept 2026, 10:24:40 AM IST

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Bangladesh Playing XI

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Harmanpreet bats this time

  IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Against Japan, she had chosen to bowl. But today she wants to bat first. Earlier today, Sri Lanka chased down 178 against Pakistan to reach the final. So, if India win today, they are going to face Sri Lanka in the final, just like they did in the Asia Cup final earlier this month. Asian Games women's cricket going as per the script!
