India Women vs Bangladesh Women Live Score, Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. No room for error as India take on Bangladesh
India entered the 12-team tournament with the form of their top order as a concern, but Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma have largely allayed those fears.
Mandhana scored 159 runs in three matches, while Shafali contributed 92, with both batsmen hitting more than 154 and consistently providing strong starts.
However, the middle order’s inability to build platforms has emerged as a new concern for the team’s management.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (SR 109.09), Jemimah Rodrigues (94.11) and Yastika Bhatia (105.88) were each unable to sustain the momentum provided by the openers, and their failure to accelerate often left a lot to do for the likes of Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma.
After playing three matches each, Kaur and Rodrigues managed just 11 boundaries between them without hitting a single six. Yastika, on the other hand, scored just three fours in two innings, figures that will likely worry the Indian camp going deeper into the tournament.
On their part, Richa (176.92) and Deepti (159.37) responded well to the challenge, but arriving late in the innings with limited deliveries to face increased the pressure on the duo.
Despite their inconsistent batting, India (4 points from 3 matches, Net Run Rate of 2.511) reaped the benefits of victories by huge margins – by 64 runs against Pakistan and by 95 runs against the Netherlands – as they look to hold on to second place in Group A.
