Batters, Radha And Asha Star In India’s 21-run Win Over Bangladesh; Clinch Series 5-0
Electing to bat first, India posted 156/5 in their 20 overs at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, thanks to handy knocks by Smriti (33), Hemalatha (37), Harmanpreet (30) and an unbeaten 28 from Richa Ghosh. In reply, left-arm spinner Radha picked 3-24 while leg-spinner Asha took 2-25 and fast-bowler Titas Sadha scalped 1-27 as India restricted Bangladesh to 135/6, despite a late fightback from Ritu Moni (37) and Shorifa Khatun (28 not out).
After Shafali Verma, playing her 100th international match, fell early, Smriti and Hemalatha shared a 37-run partnership for the second wicket to keep India’s innings on track for a decent total. Smriti hit four boundaries and a six before she was dismissed in the eighth over by Sultana Khatun for 33 off 25 balls, with replays suggesting the ball may have hit her pad outside the off-stump, and no DRS meant she had to go back to the pavilion.
