7.20pm That's all from the presentation, this game and the series. The Indian team moves along to pose with the series trophy with beaming smiles across the faces. Thank you for joining us today as well, Srinidhi's report will be up here soon, and it's time wrap up from the Sylhet Stadium, that's engulfed by the lush tea gardens. Stay safe you all, goodbye and good luck!
Harmanpreet Kaur: the calmness all the players showed in the series is something I want to take to the World Cup. In fielding we made some mistakes but we know how to move forward. The WPL gave our players a lot of confidence and those results are helping. This series and conditions will give us a lot of confidence and take our learnings into the World Cup and hopefully we'll play our best cricket.
Radha Yadav is the Player of the Match and the Series: I just wanted to bowl wicket to wicket, that's what I had worked on before the series. WPL is helping all the girls, hopefully we'll get some players from Bangladesh as well. I'm trying to bowl in the right areas and working hard on my fitness as well.
Nigar Sultana: We have seen a tough time this series, but today it was a better approach by the batters. Batting is the area we need to work on. We need to work on our approach and intent in batting, like some batters settle down and then get out. Rabeya and Nahida are the bowlers doing really well, Marufa did well throughout the tournament. And Ritu showed us today how to bat.
Radha Yadav: I worked on my bowling for this series and it's coming off well. I want to bowl wicket to wicket, one odd ball was wide maybe. Really nice to play five matches here (before the World Cup) for these conditions and really looking forward to the World Cup.
7pm A convincing victory for India to sweep the series 5-0 after they took the early wickets today while defending 156. Despite that, a lot of fight shown by Bangladesh's lower order, especially Ritu Moni and Shorifa Khatun who made sure they finished on 135, the highest total for the hosts in this series. That will be a massive confidence booster for Bangladesh after they couldn't score 120 even once in the earlier four games. Lots to think about for India from this game despite taking the trophy home - the misfielding, the catches that went down, and leaking those runs in the end despite having reduced Bangladesh to 52 for 5 before the halfway mark. Far from a perfect performance from the visitors, but they'll be pleased with their batting effort today. We'll bring you the presentation soon...
