- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 edged and taken! A first-ball wicket for Vastrakar! Length delivery outside off that seems to shape away just a touch. Rani, looking at the width, throws her hands at it but all she manages is a feather through to Ghosh, who makes no mistake. That might have come off the glove but nevertheless, this is the perfect start for India; just what Bangladesh did not want, though! 0/10.5 huge appeal, and given! Vastrakar has two in the over! Length delivery that pitches in the channel and decks back sharply. Shamima is caught on the crease and plays all over it. Gets pinned on the pads and the umpire, after a bit of thought, raises his finger. Was the impact outside the line? Shamima and Bangladesh might think so but the person who matters felt it was in line, and that it was going on to hit the stumps. Bangladesh are two down in the opening over! 1/24.5 taken by Mandhana at mid off this time! Full outside off and Mostary thinks she can loft this over mid off. Swings at it without much conviction, though, and almost checks her stroke, chipping it straight to Mandhana, who makes no mistake! 18/37.3 has Nigar run herself out? India are celebrating! Flighted up outside off. Nigar stretches forward and drops it into the off side. Sets off for the single immediately but she is always struggling. And that is indeed the case. A laser-sharp direct hit by Devika Vaidya, and Nigar is caught just short of her ground! 25/55.5 castled! Bangladesh are four down inside the powerplay! Into the blockhole on off stump. This one seems to shape back in late and Shorna has no clue about it. She is too late in bringing her bat down and the ball sneaks past before thudding into the stumps. The umpires check for a front-foot No ball but Sadhu has enough behind the line! 21/412.6 knocks her over with a corker! Full delivery that starts in the channel just outside off before swerving into the batter devilishly. Ritu has no clue about this one and leaves a massive gap between her bat and pad. The ball goes through and smashes into the stumps. To be fair to Ritu, that swung a mile. Vastrakar is pumped after bagging her fourth; Bangladesh slide further! 39/87.6 Another one bites the dust! Given plenty of air on a length outside off. Ritu comes down the track and dabs it into the short third region. Calls her partner through. The throw is good but the running by Fatima is certainly not. She did not even drag her bat and is run out, with her bat hanging above the crease. Poor, poor cricket by Bangladesh, and they are staring down the barrel now! 25/610.5 cleans her up! Excellent in-swinging full delivery that starts on off stump before shaping back in late. Rabeya falls across, cuts herself off and then plays all over it as the ball smashes into the stumps. Bangladesh are seven down, and we have not even bowled eleven overs yet! 33/716.3 stumped by a mile! Looped up deliciously on a length just outside off. Sultana's eyes light up and she comes haring down the track, trying to tonk it into tomorrow. Has a wild slog at it but gets nowhere close to it as the ball rips past the outside edge. Ghosh collects cleanly and effects the stumping with minimal fuss! 50/917.5 that will be that! Bangladesh have been rolled over for 51! Length delivery that pitches on off stump and continues to slide on with the angle. Marufa plays for the turn but because there isn't any, leaves a gap between bat and pad. The ball whistles through and Marufa hears the death rattle soon after. This is Bangladesh's lowest total in women's T20Is against India! 51/10Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL51 all out (17.5 Overs, RR: 2.85)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Shathi Rani, 0.1 ov), 2-1 (Shamima Sultana, 0.5 ov), 3-18 (Sobhana Mostary, 4.5 ov), 4-21 (Shorna Akter, 5.5 ov), 5-25 (Nigar Sultana, 7.3 ov), 6-25 (Fahima Khatun, 7.6 ov), 7-33 (Rabeya Khan, 10.5 ov), 8-39 (Ritu Moni, 12.6 ov), 9-50 (Sultana Khatun, 16.3 ov), 10-51 (Marufa Akter, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.5 Mandhana bites the dust! Full on leg stump and this one seems to shape away too. Mandhana, looking to work to leg, closes her bat face too early and skews it off the leading edge. The fielder at point does the rest, and Bangladesh have their first wicket! 19/17.2 castled! Length delivery on middle and off stump that skids through. Shafali opts to stay back but the ball is too full to be doing so.
