New Delhi: A comprehensive performance by the Indian bowling attack led by Sneh Rana (4 wickets for 30 runs) and Yastika Bhatia’s half century ensured a 110-run victory over Bangladesh. This was a must win game for India here at Hamilton as their chances got affected after their loss against Australia.
Twitter was full of praises for the Mithali Raj led-team after their clinical performance. Cricket experts had a huge sigh of relief after the victory. Here are a few tweets:
Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana when asked about the difference in their approach with the bat and India’s:
“They have played [over] 240 matches [in the ODI format] and we have played only 46 so far.”

Yastika Bhatia got to her second fifty of the tournament but fell off the very next ball attempting the paddle sweep. At 180/6 at the end of 44th over, India needed to finish well and Rana and Vastrakar did just that. Their partnership of 48 in 38 balls propelled India to 229/7.
Brief scores: India 229/7 in 50 overs (Smriti Mandhana 30, Shafali Verma 42, Yastika Bhatia 50, Richa Ghosh 26, Pooja Vastrakar 30 not out, Sneh Rana 27; Ritu Moni 3/37) beat Bangladesh 119 in 40.3 overs (Salma Khatun 32; Jhulan Goswami 2/19, Pooja Vastrakar 2/26, Sneh Rana 4/30) by 110 runs.
