IND-W vs BAN-W Live Cricket Score

2 OUT! TAKEN THIS TIME! Sultana Khatun keeps tossing the ball up at the stumps, inviting the big shot. Smriti Mandhana clears the front leg and looks to swing it over long on but she is hitting against the turn. Smriti ends up mistiming it towards mid on, where Shorna Akter takes a good catch to her right and Bangladesh Women are ecstatic. 9/1

13.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, Bangladesh Women manage to see the back of Shafali Verma, but the damage has already been done. Sultana Khatun tosses the ball at the stumps, not all that full and Verma goes after it. Verma heaves it across the line but doesn't get enough power on it. The substitute fielder, Farjana Easmin, makes no mistake and Verma departs after an entertaining knock. 92/3

9.2 OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND CAUGHT! Much-needed breakthrough for Bangladesh as Rabeya breaks a threatening partnership. She gives it a good rip and lands it around the off stump, a touch full and gets the ball to grip sharply off the surface. Pratika charges down the track and attempts to heave it across the line, but while doing so, she loses her shape and her bottom hand slips off the handle as well. Only manages to slice the ball off the leading edge and it swirls for a long time over mid off. Dilara Akter lurks underneath it and despite the ball threatening to pop out of her palms, she keeps her cool to gobble it up eventually. India Women are 59/2 after 9.2 overs. 59/2

18.3 OUT! RICHA IS STUMPED OUT! Clever bowling by Nahida as she breaks a budding partnership. A left-armer's delight, that one. Richa shows her cards early by stepping down the track to give it a mighty whack across the line. Seeing that Nahida pull the length back and the ball spins away after landing, beating the outside edge and nestling into the keeper's gloves. Richa is too far outside the crease but she does try to dive back to get her bat in the crease, but Nigar Sultana has all the time in the world to dislodge the bails. India Women are 128/4, with 9 balls remaining in the first innings. 128/4

19.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A quickfire cameo from Deepti comes to an end. India Women are 149/5, with one legal ball remaining. Fuller and angling in from around leg stump. Deepti backs away to the leg side, looking to launch it over mid off, but the timing lets her down totally. The ball loops off the toe end to the right of Rabeya Khan, who tracks it well over her right shoulder and pouches a good catch on the edge of the circle. 149/5

20 OUT! FULMALI IS RUN OUT! 12 runs off the final over and India Women finish on 149/6. Marufa slides it across the batter, on a good length, from around the stumps. Bharti Fulmali swings wildly at it, looking to club it downtown, but misses out as the ball is grabbed by Nigar Sultana behind the stumps. Harmanpreet Kaur dashes through for a bye, but Bharti is a bit late to respond. Nigar tosses the ball to the bowler, and in return, Marufa collects it nicely, runs back to the bowling end and whips the bails off with Fulmali fairly short of her crease. 149/6

7.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A fine catch in the deep and Deepti Sharma strikes in her first over. Deepti offers flight, tossing it up on the stumps. Dilara Akter goes for the slog sweep, hitting it aerially and wide of deep mid-wicket. Kranti Gaud runs across quickly to her left and takes a fine catch, cushioning it with a slide and Bangladesh Women lose their second wicket. 35/2

5.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Almost a collision between the keeper and the bowler, but they both slam the brakes in time, and that is a good catch by Richa Ghosh. Sree Charani offers more flight this time, bowling it fuller on middle and leg. Juairiya Ferdous goes for the slog sweep but miscues it badly. The ball lobs up towards silly mid on and it is Ghosh who scampers quickly and takes it before Charani could get her hands on it. 26/1

13.3 OUT! CLEANED HER UP! Deepti continues to deliver the goods with the ball and picks up her second wicket. Flat and skiddy, not quite short enough to go back and cut. Sobhana gets caught in two minds, rocking back and dragging her leg out of the way, but the ball skids on after pitching and sneaks through the gap between bat and pad, crashing into the stumps behind her. Bangladesh Women are under tremendous pressure now, with 66/3 on the board, needing 84 runs from 39 balls. 66/3

15 OUT! LEADING EDGE AND CAUGHT! That, in all honesty, is the game in the kitty for India. Tossed up nicely by Prema, full around off and turning away. Sultana charges down the track, going for the big heave across the line, but a fat leading edge is found and the ball bobbles to the right of Nandani Sharma stationed at short third, who takes a simple catch. Bangladesh Women lose their skipper at the most inopportune time and are reduced to 76/4, needing another 84 runs from 30 balls. 76/4

15.5 OUT! TIMBER! That's a classic Deepti Sharma dismissal, as she beats the batter in the air and off the deck as well. This is tossed up, on a length and around off. Sharmin Akhter makes the mistake of going onto the back foot. The ball pitches and holds a line, beating the bat to castle into the top of off stump. Bangladesh Women now slip to 83/5. 83/5

19.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Nandani Sharma picks up a wicket as well. Slower ball, pitched full and wide outside off. Fahima Khatun gives the charge and gets nowhere near the ball, slicing it towards backward point. Prema Rawat makes no mistake and Nandani brings out a 'shushing' celebration. It was a back-of-the-hand delivery as well. 109/6

20 OUT! HIT WICKET! A double whammy for Nandani Sharma to proceedings, and India Women win by 40 runs, marching into their 10th successive Asia Cup Final. Another back-of-the-hand slower one from Nandani, floating it on middle and leg. Rabeya Khan goes on one knee and is through her slog early. The ball goes over the leg stump and Khan ends up landing the bat on the top of the stumps whilst completing her swing. Bangladesh Women end with 109/7. 109/7
