... THE RUN CHASE ...

For Bangladesh, can't really talk a lot about a side which has been bowled out for 50! That is not what their skipper would have thought after electing to bowl. Now they are well behind in the game. They will need a miracle to win this one now. India on the other hand, will hope to chase it as quickly as possible.

That is an outstanding bowling performance from India and they dominated the first half of the semi finals. It was Pooja Vastrakar who started things off after being asked to field. She ran through the top order and since then, Bangladesh never recovered. They kept losing wickets. All the bowlers except for Deepti Sharma got a wicket at least. Overall, it is a top performance.
