NEW DELHI: India’s batting efficiency fell brief, leading to a disappointing defeat by 40 runs within the opening ODI towards Bangladesh. This match marked India’s first-ever encounter with Bangladesh within the 50-over format.
Having gained the toss and electing to bowl, India witnessed a commendable ODI debut by the younger tempo bowler Amanjot Kaur, who made a powerful influence by taking 4 wickets for 31 runs. As a results of their disciplined efforts, Bangladesh was contained to a modest complete of 152 runs in 43 overs.
However, when it got here time for India to chase the seemingly snug goal, their batting lineup faltered, resulting in their downfall as they have been bowled out for a mere 113 runs in 35.5 overs.
The underwhelming batting show proved to be their undoing within the match.
Deepti Sharma top-scored for India with a 40-ball 20.
Marufa Akter picked up 4 wickets for Bangladesh, making a gift of 29 runs.
Earlier, the 23-year-old Amanjot accounted for opener Murshida Khatun, Fargana Hoque, captain Nigar Sultana and Rabeya Khan as Bangladesh struggled within the match lowered to 44-overs-a-side affair attributable to rain.
Nigar Sultana was the best run-getter for the house crew on the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, scoring 39 and sharing a vital 49-run partnership with Fargana Hoque (27).
Bangladesh’s final batter Shorna Akther didn’t come out to bat within the forty fourth over as she was injured.
