Women’s Asia Cup: Bowlers, Smriti Help India Thrash Bangladesh, Storm Into Final (ld)

Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium: Renuka Singh Thakur and Radha Yadav took three wickets each at the start and end of the innings respectively, while vice-captain Smriti Mandhana smashed an unbeaten 55 as India stormed into the final of the Women’s Asia Cup for the ninth time with a resounding ten-wicket thrashing of Bangladesh.

At the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium on Friday, barring the toss result, everything went in India’s favour. Electing to bat first, Bangladesh didn’t have a sound strategy to counter India’s bowling plans, which were outstanding from the word go and could only make 80/8.

Renuka was back to providing early breakthroughs to pick an excellent 3-10, as she stuck to good lines and lengths while giving no freebies to bowl her four overs on the bounce. Radha was also the pick of the bowlers for India through her 3-14 and ensuring Bangladesh didn’t have a big finish to their slow innings.
