The Indian cricket team achieved a forgettable record on Thursday. India's abysmal fielding in the Women's T20 World Cup thus far hit a new low as Bangladesh managed to post 136 for eight at Old Trafford on Thursday. India, who lost to South Africa largely due to their poor fielding, dropped as many as four catches in the powerplay. All four chances were rather straightforward, but the fielders made a mess of them. Among the guilty were Nandni Sharma, Yastika Bhatia, and Radha Yadav, who had grassed two chances in the loss to South Africa in the previous game. They are now the first team to put down four catches in the powerplay.

The biggest beneficiary of India's indiscipline was Juairiya Ferdous, who was dropped thrice by the fifth over. Ferdous did hit some fine boundaries but failed to make the most of the luck that came her way.

After being warned twice for running on the pitch, Nandni, who had dropped Ferdous and Sobhana Mostary off successive balls, took a sharp return catch to get rid of Ferdous. The opener scored 33 off 31 balls. Having lost to South Africa, India find themselves in a must-win situation in their remaining two league games against Bangladesh and Australia.

India have been found wanting in all departments in the tournament thus far. The management has been guilty of making too many changes in the pace department, leaving out the likes of Kranti Gaud.

On Thursday, Renuka Thakur got her first game of the competition, and she struck in her very first over. Opener Dilara Akter (4) went for the pull but could not clear Shree Charani at deep square leg.

Charani bowled a brilliant 20th over, picking up two wickets and giving away only three runs.

Unlike her fielding, Radha (3/28) had a better outing with the ball as she removed opposition captain Nigar Sultana (32 off 27 balls) and Mostary (22 off 26 balls) in quick succession.

Considering the unusual heat in the UK, spinners have been getting more assistance. India too predominantly stuck to spin in Bangladesh's innings.

Besides the dropped catches, India bowled seven wides and three no-balls. Though India chased down the target after a brief wobble, the poor fielding is something that the team needs to iron out before they face Australia on Sunday.
