India-W vs Bangladesh-W Live Score: Nandini Sharma taken to the cleaners

A proper hammering by Nigar Sultana. 17 came off the 14th over as the Bangladesh captain smashed 4 fours to Nandini in her 3rd over. Bangladesh are now back on track.

Radha Yadav has her first wicket of the T20 World Cup. A loopy delivery way outside off and Mostary looks to loft it over long off. She doesn't get the power or elevation, and Deepti Sharma claims an easy catch.

Renuka returns to bowl her third over as Nandini Sharma gets a break. Bangladesh clearly plans to build and then explode at the end. Will that be enough?

Finally, a fielder holds onto the catch. Nandini Sharma, who bowled a no-ball and a wide in the 9th over, takes a fine catch in her follow-through. She had dropped 2 catches before. A 51-run stand has been broken, with Ferdous going back for 33 off 31.

Just when India needed it! 🎯#NandniSharma holds on to a fine catch to hand #TeamIndia a much-needed wicket. 💪

Bangladesh hasn't been able to score freely after the field opened up. Just 11 runs in 2 overs. The run rate is just over 6.

End of an eventful powerplay. 4 drops and still Bangladesh managed to get just 40 runs. One has to say Bangladesh might be slightly ahead. They have 2 set batters now and the Indian fielders will be down on confidence.

• 1.3 - Yastika Bhatia dropped
• 3.5 - Radha Yadav dropped
• 4.2 - Nandini Sharma dropped
• 4.4 - Nandini Sharma dropped

Radha Yadav, India's best fielder, has another catch. A sitter. But that wasn't the end. In the 5th over, Nandini Sharma dropped two catches. The first was a straightforward one, while the second one needed her to dive to her right. 4 catches dropped in 5 overs, 3 of those in the space of 4 balls. A shocking performance in the field.

Yastika Bhatia has dropped Juairiya Ferdous. Sree Charani replaced Shafali and created a chance, but Yastika failed to hang on. Ferdous goes for the sweep but edges it. The ball goes towards square leg. The fielder doesn't judge it well, dives in the end, and makes a meal of it.

Renuka Singh Thakur missed her lines a bit and bowled 3 wides, but managed to get some swing and picked up a wicket on the last ball of the over. It wasn't the best ball, but Dilara hit the ball straight to Sree Charani at deep square leg.

Once again, Shafali Verma gets the new ball. Dilara Akter takes the strike. Some turn available from the get-go. Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav will be happy seeing that.

• India Women won: 20
• Bangladesh Women won: 3

India have dropped Prema Yadav and Arundhati Reddy for Radha Yadav and Renuka Singh Thakur. Meanwhile, Bangladesh are fielding the same team.

India Women: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur, Nandni Sharma

Bangladesh Women: Dilara Akter, Juairiya Ferdous, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana (c & wk), Sobhana Mostary, Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter, Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, Shanjida Akter Meghla, Marufa Akter

"I think it's a good wicket to bat on but there is something in it for the bowlers as well. Good pitch to bat and bowl. We just have to react. Just get the win and see how (the qualification) it goes."

Nigar Sultan has won the toss and opted to bat first. India will be chasing for the first time in Women's T20 World Cup 2026.

We are just minutes away from the toss at Old Trafford. India has batted first in all three matches, twice after winning the toss. It'll be interesting to see whether they decide to set a target against Bangladesh, who chased down 140 against the Netherlands on June 14.

Eyes on the 🎯 of 2️⃣ points! 💪
