India vs Bangladesh, ACC Women’s Asia Cup T20 2016, Match 1: Indian Eves thrash Bangladesh in opener
Indian women produced a professional performance to beat Bangladesh by 64 runs in their opening match of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 tournament on Saturday. The experienced pair of Mithali Raj (49 not out) and Smriti Mandhana (41) put up a 70- run stand for the opening wicket to take India to 118 for six in 20 overs. The team led by Harmanpreet Kaur was clinical with the ball, bowling out Bangladesh for a mere 54 runs for a comprehensive victory. The star bowler for India was leggie Poonam Yadav, who picked up three wickets and conceded just 13 runs in four overs.
India should have set a bigger total, especially with the kind of start provided by the openers. However, that wasn’t to be as they lost their way in the second half of the innings. In the other match of the day, Pakistan too began their campaign on an emphatic note by giving Nepal a nine wicket thrashing, reported PTI.
