... THE RUN CHASE ...

India will be very pleased with how they performed, Renuka Singh took three and was the pick. Radha Yadav was also brilliant. The former started things brilliantly and the latter ended it in fine fashion. Overall though, almost all the bowlers played thier part and have put India in a strong position. They now would back themselves to chase this down. Bangladesh on the other hand, need a miracle to defend this. Stay tuned for the second half.

That decision of batting first seems to have backfired big time! The total Bangladesh has got is nowhere close to what they would have thought could challenge this strong Indian team. At one stage though, their position was even worse when they lost 6 wickets for less than 50. Shorna Akter and Nigar Sultana though put up a decent stand and took them to the 80-run mark. They could have got closer to the 90-run mark but they failed to score any run in the last over.

A maiden, the last over of the innings is a double wicket maiden! Fuller and on off, Marufa Akter jams it back to the bowler. Bangladesh Women have ended with 80!

19.3WRadha Yadav to Nahida Akter
OUT! TIMBER! Radha has another one. Full and outside off. Nahida Akter looks to go over cover but this takes the inside edge and hits the stumps. Just the two wickets left and three balls to go. Can Radha Yadav get a fifer and help her side bowl Bangladesh out?
-
19.20Radha Yadav to Nahida Akter
Dots are absolute gold in the last over. Fuller and on middle, this is played back to the bowler.
-
19.1WRadha Yadav to Nigar Sultana
OUT! TAKEN! Nigar Sultana falls. She needed to go for it. Steps out and tries to clear long on. It is more off the toe end and it is an easy catch for the fielder there.

18.61Pooja Vastrakar to Nigar Sultana
A single to end a massive over! Shorter and around off, this is pushed past cover for one.
-
18.54Pooja Vastrakar to Nigar Sultana
FOUR! Up and over! Takes full toll of the Free Hit! This is easily the most expensive over so far. A full toss outside off, this is carved over point and it races away.
-
18.51 nbPooja Vastrakar to Nigar Sultana
NO BALL! That has come out all wrong. A slower one but it slips out of the hand and lands outside the wicket. No ball signaled. Free Hit coming up.

-
18.24Pooja Vastrakar to Shorna Akter
FOUR! They would love a few more of these. On middle, shorter, Shorna Akter pulls it over mid on and this races away to the fence.
