Indian Batters Flop Again As Bangladesh Pull Off Consolation Win

13.07.2023 - 13:31 sports.ndtv.com

Indian batters' struggles against spin bowling continued as Bangladesh held their nerve to pull off a four-wicket consolation win in the third and final women's T20 International in Mirpur on Thursday.

India produced another underwhelming batting performance to end up with 102 for nine after opting to bat. It seemed Bangladesh, who could not chase 96 in the previous game, had taken the self destructing route again but managed to cross the line in 18.1 overs.

Opener Shamima Sultana (42 off 46) held the innings together for Bangladesh. India sealed the series 2-1 but their performance left a lot to be desired.

The three- match ODI series between the two teams will begin here on July 16. Batting on spin friendly wickets was the biggest let down as the batters lacked the firepower to put pressure on the slow bowlers.
