India Women vs Bangladesh Women, 28th Match

BANW
119/9(27)
INDW
57/0(8.4)
That's the group stages done. The four teams have been locked for the semis. We have a two-day break before those games. The first semi sees England taking on South Africa on Wednesday (29th). Do join us then for that one. For now it's bye bye from all of us here.
Harmanpreet Kaur | India captain: Today, I think the way we bowled looked quite balanced and there was a lot of clarity. That’s something we will definitely take from this game. Pratika - our medical team will update on her. They are taking care of her injury, and hopefully, she will be back soon. (on the semis) It’s a very important game for us. I personally feel we’ve played really good cricket in the league matches. Now the next game is very crucial. Everyone has contributed whenever the team needed, and that’s something we’ll carry forward. We’ve always spoken about enjoying ourselves while playing, and I think that’s the key for us - to go out there and enjoy the semis. (on the squad players being given a chance) Yes, definitely. The way Radha bowled today gives us another option for the next game. Amanjot came back into the team and did her bit as well. I think whatever we planned, we tried to achieve. Apart from Pratika’s injury, hopefully, she’ll be fine too.
Nigar Sultana Joty | Bangladesh captain: (on the blow to her finger) It’s really pretty bad because I recovered the same thing that I hit back. So maybe it will take one or two weeks to recover. First of all, how we started the tournament gives us good momentum, definitely. And we played a few close games against England, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Maybe there are a few areas where we could have done better - maybe we could have won those games. I think we’ve been working really hard as a group and have been playing together for a long time. We know each other well, and I think that helps us on the ground as well. We’ve included a few young players, and they’ve been giving their 110% on the field. They’re all champions, I’d say. They’ll definitely take a lot of positives from here and try to apply them in their lives. We just want to summarize the whole tournament, definitely. There are a lot of things we can take from here, but we should sit down and discuss what areas we could improve in. Maybe if we work on those, we’ll go further next time.
22:23 Local Time, 16:53 GMT, 22:23 IST: It's done. The match has been called off. After a lengthy break, the game started and we managed to get till 8.4 overs of the Indian innings - that's when the rain came again and that was that. India would be happy that they did the job against New Zealand which ensured their qualification. But concerns for them with Pratika Rawal going off hobbling after twisting her right ankle. We will have to wait for her status with regards to the semis. Coming to today's game, India opted to give their squad players a go and Radha impressed with a three-fer. All the five bowlers were among the wickets. Bangladesh would have been looking to finish the tournament on a high, but it was not to be. But they had a tournament to remember with a win against Pakistan and running England, South Africa and Sri Lanka close. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff...
22:12 Local Time, 16:42 GMT, 22:12 IST: Steady drizzle and the pitch and the adjoining areas are covered.
22:07 Local Time, 16:37 GMT, 22:07 IST: More covers being brought on. This doesn't look good. Stay tuned.
22:05 Local Time, 16:35 GMT, 22:05 IST: The rain has gotten heavier and the players are walking off. The groundstaff are quick to bring on the covers. Play resumed at 20:05 local time after the initial rain break, and exactly after 2 hours of play, rain is back..

Rabeya Khan to Amanjot Kaur, no run, shorter outside off, Amanjot Kaur goes for a cut and gets an outside edge. The keeper has put it down again. She closed her mitts too early. Got hit on the fingers and she'll need some medical attention. Dropped catch and the keeper is injured as well. We'll have slight delay..

Rabeya Khan to Amanjot Kaur, no run, Review taken for an lbw by Bangladesh! This looks very close. Amanjot is probably in trouble.. Was a floated delivery around middle and leg, the batter tried to flick it away, but got rapped on the pads. No bat involved. It's pitching in line, the impact is line, but it's clipping the leg-stump. Umpire's decision stays
DRS!
It has started to drizzle..
