India vs Bangladesh, 2nd Women's ODI highlights: Jemimah-starrer IND win by 108 runs, level series 1-1 at Dhaka

After losing the series opener at Dhaka, Harmanpreet Kaur’s Team India has bounced back with a massive win over Bangladesh in the 2nd ODI on Wednesday. India will meet Bangladesh in the 3rd ODI at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday. 

Bangladesh lost its last 7 wickets for just 14 runs in the 2nd ODI at Dhaka. Rodrigues, who returned the magical figures of four for 3 in 3.1 overs, also played a scintillating knock of 86 off 78 balls for the visitors. Rodrigues-starrer She has been adjudged the Player of the Match for her all-round show.

“I would be lying to say that I was not under pressure, we saw how good Bangladesh were in the first game. Harman and I were going really well then Harleen came in and gave us that push. I didn't try to do anything extra, just tried to pitch it in the right areas and allow the surface to do the rest,” Rodrigues said after the match. 

Mandhana takes a sharp catch and Marufa Akter's dismissal means Bangladesh are all out for 120 in 35.1 overs. A massive win for Team India! Jemimah Rodrigues-starrer Team India side has outclassed Bangladesh women by 108 runs.

Devika Vaidya has got the better of Sultana Khatun, who departs for a duck. BANW 120-9 after 35 overs.

What an over by Jemimah Rodrigues! She has taken the crucial wickets of Nigar Sultana and Nahida Akter in the 34th over. BANW 114-8 after 34 overs.

Vaidya tosses it up for the first ball of the 31st, Rabeya who herself is a leg spinner, comes forward, misses it entirely and is stumped. Three consecutive stumpings and that has changed the game entirely.

Rabeya Khan st Bhatia b Vaidya 1 (3), Bangladesh 107/6 in 30.1 overs

Jemimah Rodrigues with just the 2nd ODI wicket of her career. Bangladesh have lost both their set batters. Ritu Moni comes forward, misses it and Taniya Bhatia does the rest.

Rity Moni st Bhatia b Rodrigues 27 (46), Bangladesh 106/5 in 29.4 overs

Big turn and bounce and Yastika Bhatia completes the stumping. Hoque falls three runs short of her half century. She is drawn forward by the flight Vaidya gave the ball but it spins sharply past the outside edge. The partnership ended on 68 off 92. 

Bangladesh 102/3 in 27.4 overs, need 127 to win in 22.1 overs. Fourth ball of the 28th bowled by Sneh Rana is sent outside off, it beats everyone and Deol makes an athletic effort at the boundary to stop it from getting there but the batters run three. Then a strong slong sweep from Ritu Moni, Jemimah with another athletic effort on the ropes, keeps the ball inside the line but Bareddy is not able to keep it from rolling over. In fact she pushes it over somewhat, but it was a great fielding effort from both. All happening at the Sher-e-Bangla.

This is exactly the kind of stand Bangladesh needed. They are showing just why they deserve to be 1-0 up in this series. 

A brilliant shot by Ritu Moni off Amanjot, cut to the left of deep point who pretty much had no chance. The two batters gaining in confidence now.

Well that is not something India would like to see back. Fargana Haque eases into an extra cover drive, the fielder there does a London bridge over the ball after which mid-off lets it do a nutmeg on her.

Devika Vaidya and Meghna Singh keeping things tight. Bangladesh need 165 to win off 180. Their run rate is at 3.20 at the moment and the required rate is 5.50. A game of chess at the moment between the two sides.

Fargana Haque is on 17 off 40, Ritu Moni on 1 off 5. Bangladesh need 185 runs to win off 204 balls. It has been a disciplined effort with the ball and in the field from India. 

Bangladesh are going to fall in a heap at this rate. A big swipe accross the line off Sneh Rana by Lata Mondal, inside edge and the ball smashes onto the stumps. 

Mondal b Rana 9 (23), Bangladesh 38/3 in 13.4 overs

Well talk about a slow start. Bangladesh have not gone past the score that could be made by hitting every ball in a single over for a four in 10 overs. 

Pace off by Meghna for the final ball of the fifth. Murshida Khatun faced five dot balls before this, she tries to go aerial, gets a top edge and is caught at mid-off. Quite a puzzling shot this considering Bangladesh don't really need to go hard here.

Murshida Khatun c Mandhana b Meghna Singh 12 (19), Bangladesh 14/2 in 5 overs

Flighted delivery on off, it turns in sharply and strikes Sharmin Akhter on the pads. Big appeal for LBW and the umpire's finger goes up.

Akhter lbw b Deepti 2 (9), Bangladesh 14/1 in 3.4 overs

A four off the first ball and off the third are the only runs that come in that over. 

Meghna Singh will bowl the first over for India, Murshida Khatun is facing up with Nigare Sultana at the other end.

Well, that Indian innings ebbed and flowed and swung this way and that but in the end, there will be reasons for both sides to be happy. Bangladesh were disciplined in their bowling, may be a little less in their fielding especially compared to earlier matches in this tour. But fifties from Jemimah and Harmanpreet and a couple of very useful innings from Mandhana and Deol has got them to what seems like a very good score on this pitch.

As many as three wickets in the last over, including one off the first ball thanks to a truly stunning catch from Rabeya Khan to send back Harmanpreet Kaur. Harmanpreet had gone for a slog sweep, it looked destined to go for four but Rabeya swoops in at deep midwicket, puts in a full length and plucks a stunner. Then Deepti Sharma fell off the third ball of the over and then a run out off the last ball.

Jemimah does a split after missing the ball backing up but then it is not enough. She had properly found a different gear and so this wicket could help Bangladesh save about 10-15 runs. 

Rodrigues st Nigar Sultana b Nahida Akter 86 (78), India 224/5 in 49 overs

Tight single, Jemimah makes it to the other end with a dive and the ball seems to have hit her shoulder while she was down. The physio is out yet again but Jemimah seems fine.
