HIGHLIGHTS
- India hammered Bangladesh in a must-win encounter
- India have now won three matches and lost three games
- Yastika Bhatia and Sneh Rana starred in India's 110-run win
India women's team rode on Yastika Bhatia's responsible fifty and Sneh Rana's bowling heroics helped India recover from a mini-collapse and crush Bangladesh by 110 runs in their must-win league match in Hamilton to stay alive in the mix of the semi-finals of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup on Tuesday.
Defending the 230-run total, the spinners, led by Rana (4/30), controlled the proceedings as they struck at regular intervals. India bowled out Bangladesh for 119 in 40.3 overs to register their third win of the tournament. The big win helped India improve their Net-Run-Rate (0.768) further.
The Mithali Raj-led side will take on South Africa in the final league match on Sunday. Before that match, if the second-placed Proteas beat West Indies on Thursday, India's semifinal chances will get better.
India's decision to bring in senior spinner Poonam Yadav (1/25) in place of pacer Meghna Singh paid dividends. With spinners operating from both ends on a slow track, Bangladesh found the run-scoring difficult.
Earlier in the day, Yastika Bhatia's 3rd ODI fifty propelled India to a par score of 229/7 in 50 overs against Bangladesh on Tuesday, March 22. It was the 2nd successive fifty for the left-hander, who once again batted at No. 3 for India at the showpiece event.
Opting to bat, Smriti Mandhana (30) and Shafali Verma (42) shared 74 runs for the opening wicket but India suffered a mini-collapse, losing both the openers in quick succession. Read More...
