6.25pm How momentum and the mood changes! An hour ago, you thought Bangladesh would potter to 160 in 50 overs. But here they are, having given themselves a genuine chance at pulling off an upset if they use their spin cards right in Vizag. That they're in this is because of Shorna Akter's mastery. A sensational exhibition of power-hitting that delivered Bangladesh's fastest fifty in a women's ODI has breathed life into the innings. There was plenty of support from Joty and Supta, with the late fireworks from Ritu Moni adding the finishing touches. We should be in for quite a ride, don't miss the chase shortly.
Sandeep Mathew: "Anyone else thinks BD have more than a decent total to defend with their spin heavy attack?" -- Without doubt. Spin will play a key role.
Hypocaust: "Shorna Akter is the first Bangladeshi woman to hit three sixes in an ODI innings."
