India Women Beat Bangladesh Women By 18 Runs In Perth

India women outclassed Bangladesh women by 18 runs in Group A match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Perth. India batted first and scored 142/6 and was also able to restrict Bangladesh to 124/8 to register their 2nd consecutive win.

Shafali Verma struck 39 with her bat, and Jemimah Rodrigues (34) helped India defeat the opponents. Poonam Yadav took three wickets and medium pacers Shikha Pandey and Arundhati Reddy picked up two wickets each to put Bangladesh in trouble early.

From the Bangladesh side, Nigar Sultana shined and ruled out Reddy in the 10th over. Bangladesh was also good at fielding and gave away only 20 runs through mis-fielding.

Murshida Khatun, in Deepti’s over, slammed three boundaries in a single over to help speed up the chase. However, after they lost Khatun's wicket, they kept losing the wickets under pressure.
