India vs Bangladesh: Unapologetic Aggression Helps India Seal WC Semifinal Berth
India's dominant performance continues
The Indian Women's Cricket Team continued their unbeaten run in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024, registering a convincing victory over Bangladesh in the semi-final on Thursday. Chasing a modest target of 110, India chased down the total with ease, winning by seven wickets.
Clinical performance from India
India's victory was built on a clinical performance from both their batters and bowlers. Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first, but India's disciplined bowling attack restricted them to just 109 for 8 in their 20 overs. Deepti Sharma and Rajeshwari Gayakwad were the pick of the bowlers, claiming two wickets each.
In response, India's batters made light work of the chase. Shafali Verma led the charge with a blistering 35 off just 24 balls, while Smriti Mandhana contributed with a steady 29. Jemimah Rodrigues provided the finishing touches with an unbeaten 24 as India cruised to victory with 33 balls to spare.
India's eyes on the prize
With this victory, India have booked their place in the final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024. They will now face the winner of the second semi-final between Australia and New Zealand on Sunday.
India will be aiming to win their first-ever T20 World Cup title, having finished as runners-up in 2018 and 2020. They will be confident of their chances against any opposition, given their impressive form throughout the tournament.
