Shafali Verma was removed by Bangladesh in the opening over of the innings, setting them up for a good start. However, Hemalatha completely changed the tide by hitting the ball at 170.83 strike rate, making strokes all around the field. Prior to the second innings of rain, Sylhet was gripped by the Hemalatha storm. The spinners were completely outmatched by her.
8:15 pm local time: The match has been called off. India Women won the match by 19 runs (DLS method) and lead the five-match T20I series 2-0.
ma: "How long will the Indian team persist with inconsistent Shafali Verma ? Why have they given her a longer rope . She needs to improve her game which unfortunately she is not doing. " I believe that you are judging Shafali Verma a little too harshly. She still has a long way to go.
Prakhar: "Do we have a D/L/S par score now that 5 overs have been bowled, and a result is guaranteed?" India Women are ahead by 19 runs. The Par Score is 28.
Abruptly, the rain began to fall heavily once more. Covers have been sent to the field once again. The umpires and players are making their way to the dressing room.
END OF OVER:5 | 13 Runs | IND-W: 43/1 (77 runs required from 15 overs, RR: 8.60, RRR: 5.13)
