Pooja Vastrakar concluded with 4/17, while Titas Sadhu, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Amanjot Kaur and Devika Vaidya picked up a wicket each to bowl Bangladesh Women out for 51, their lowest WT20I total against India Women. India responded by achieving the target in 8.2 overs to advance to the final and ensure at least a silver medal, despite losing openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma.
Mandhana led India's charge while Harmanpreet Kaur served a two-match suspension for a fierce on-field altercation with the same opponents. The 50-over match between these two formidable teams left cricket fans on the verge of their seats. The thrilling three-game series concluded in a 1-1 tie, setting up an exciting rematch. Victory on Sunday grants the victor the opportunity to compete for silver or gold.
In their previous match against Malaysia, India displayed a magnificent batting performance before the rain interrupted the festivities. The T20 match had already been shortened to 15 overs per side, but the weather only allowed for two deliveries in the second inning. India, who scored a staggering 173/2 in their allotted 15 overs, was declared the winner due to their superior rankings.
With cloudy skies on the horizon, the Indian team will attempt to repeat their explosive batting performance, as the likelihood of rain interfering with the game is low. At the Asian Games, there will be a matchup between cricket's greatest players.
