India will look to move one step closer to retaining their Asian Games women’s cricket gold medal when they face Bangladesh in the semi-final at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on Sunday. Harmanpreet Kaur’s side entered the last four after a commanding eight-wicket victory over hosts Japan in the quarter-final. India’s clinical performance underlined the depth and experience in their squad, with their established stars expected to once again lead the charge in the knockout stage.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals without taking the field in their quarter-final. Their clash against China was abandoned because of rain, with Bangladesh progressing on the basis of their higher seeding. That leaves them facing a major test against an Indian side that has enjoyed considerable success in recent T20 cricket.
India’s batting will once again be central to their hopes, with Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Harmanpreet among the key names in a powerful top order. Deepti Sharma also adds considerable value with both bat and ball, while India have several options in their bowling attack. For Bangladesh, captain Nigar Sultana and their experienced core will need to produce a disciplined performance if they are to disrupt India’s rhythm.
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.
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. Marufa Akter has started the proceedings for Bangladesh. Verma has opened her account too with a nice single on the offside. First boundary for Smriti. A lovely aerial drive, just past the mid-off. India 6/0 after the first over.
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.
IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Bangladesh Playing XI
IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Dilara Akter, Juairiya Ferdous, Sobhana Mostary, Nigar Sultana(w/c), Shorna Akter, Sharmin Akhter, Shanjida Akter Meghla, Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, Marufa Akter, Sultana Khatun
IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: Meanwhile, Sri Lanka reach the final
IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: They comfortably chase down 178 against Pakistan thanks to Chamari Athapaththu's 83 not off 50 balls. Sri Lanka won by two wickets with 13 balls to go. Hasini Perera also played a nice hand of 42 off 26 balls.
IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: India unchanged
IND-W vs BAN-W Live Score: It's the same team that played against Japan.
Playing XI: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Gunalan Kamalini, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Bharti Fulmali, Richa Ghosh(w), Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani, Shreyanka Patil, Kranti Gaud, Nandani Sharma
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!
