IND W vs BAN W 2nd T20: India Outplay Bangladesh By 8 Runs, Takes 2-0 Lead

India's Shafali Verma ended up scalping three wickets in the last over and gave away just one run.

The Indian women’s team registered an emphatic victory in a thrilling final over Bangladesh in the second ODI of the 3-match bilateral series. On the back of this win, India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. It was low scoring clash where India’s explosive batter Shafali Verma turned the game around with a brilliant last over. Indian fans were elated to see a nail-biting final over at the  Sher-e-Bangla stadium.

Talking about the game, after batting first, India started well as openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali were spotted tormenting bowlers but then at the score of 33, both batters collapsed, followed by a huge wicket of skipper Harmanpreet Kaur on a golden duck. Since then, Indian batters clearly struggled and could manage a meager 95 runs on the board. In reply, Bangladesh lost their top four batters within the score of the 30-run. Post that, Nigar Sultana came up with a  34-run stand which gave Bangladesh a bit of an edge in the game. At one point in time, the equation was a run-a-ball but then Bangladesh managed to throw the match away.  10 runs were needed in the final over with 4 wickets in hand but a couple of run-outs left the margin at 8 runs. India's Shafali Verma ended up scalping three wickets in the last over and gave away just one run.

India won the T20I series by 2-0 and they will now eye a whitewash when they play against the Bangla team in the third T20I on  July 13, 2023.
