New Delhi: Team India defeated Bangladesh by 10 wickets and qualified for the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 final at the Rangriri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla on Friday. Bangladesh got off to a poor start after opting to bat.
Renuka Singh dismissed the top three Bangladesh batters in the powerplay and put pressure on the middle order. Radha Yadav, Deepti Sharma, and Pooja Vastrakar did a fantastic job and stopped the run-scoring in the middle overs as Bangladesh scored only 80 runs in the 20 overs.
Nigar Sultana scored 32 runs off 52 balls but other batters failed to contribute to the team’s total. Renuka Singh and Radha Yadav picked up three wickets each. While Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma also took one wicket each.
Chasing the target of 81 runs, Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana provided India with a great start. The opening duo stitched an unbeaten partnership of 83 runs and helped India to win the match comfortably. Shafali scored an unbeaten 26 runs off 28 balls and Smriti scored an unbeaten 55 runs off 39 balls. The Women in Blue will play their ninth Asia Cup final.
