After stumbling to 13/3 in the 5th over, Captain Nigar Sultana (36 off 38 balls) and Sobhana Mostary (22 off 19) steadied the innings. Shorna Akter struck five boundaries in her unbeaten 39, pushing Bangladesh to a competitive 123.

Spinners Nahida Akter (3/18) and Sanjida Akter Meghla (3/21) were the chief destroyers.

Right-arm medium-fast bowler Marufa Akter has taken 8 wickets in her last 7 international T20 matches.

India won their opening two matches against Pakistan and the Netherlands before coming up against an in-form South Africa in Manchester. India started strongly, capitalising on Shafali Verma's rapid 31 runs off 15 balls, and posted 158/7 in their 20 overs> However, South Africa Women chased down the 159-run target with five balls remaining.

Shree Charani (3/24 from 4 overs) and Shafali Verma (1/22 from 4 overs) were the pick of the bowlers.
