Indian women just steamrolled Bangladeshi women. This semi-final was supposed to be one-sided, and it turned out that way. India Women won by 10 wickets, with 9 overs to spare. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma never looked troubled during their chase, and the Bangladeshi bowlers were hopeless. India will face the winner of second semi-final, which is between Pakistan women and Sri Lanka women. The good news for India is that veteran pacer Renuka Singh Thakur came up with a great spell after a long time (4-1-10-3). For most part of the last 12 months, she was horribly out of form.
Both Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma dominated against Bangladesh, turning the semi-final into a one-sided match. Bangladesh making it to the semi-final was surprising, and as expected, they didn't put up much of a fight. India is on a roll, but all their matches have been boring and one-sided. It seems like only Australia, England, and India are truly competitive in women's cricket. Anyway, congratulations to the Indian women's cricket team, and best of luck in the final!
There was no way Bangladesh woman could have been able to defend the total that they had actually posted. Scoring only 80 in a T20 match is like saying we do not want to win this match. That is also against a team like India. The Indian women’s team is one of the best in women’s cricket. Only the captain of Bangladesh women’s team was able to put on some resistance.
By the way why does it always feel like they are continuously experimenting with things? In the match against Malaysia, the captain of Bangladesh did not come out to bat. And it was like she was giving chances to the other players to see how they are from and based on that they will choose the team which will go against India. why do they not have a plan ready from earlier? Are they trying to get ready for the women’s T20 World Cup that will be played in Bangladesh? Even if they are, that is not an excuse for them to actually perform so bad against India in such an important match. Anyway congratulations to India for reaching the semifinals.
