CHENNAI: Pooja Vastrakar's exceptional spell and some decent batting have helped India edge Bangladesh for an eight-wicket win in the semi-final contest of the Asian Games women's cricket at Hangzhou.
Coming to bat first, Vastrakar rattled the Bangladesh top order as three wickets fell just under 20. Bangladesh were not able to recover from the top-order collapse and ended up mustering a poor 51.
Despite losing skipper Mandhana and Shefali Verma, India chased down this paltry total with ease as Jemimah Rodrigues (20) scored the winning runs.
Brief scores:
India: 52/2(8.2)
Bangladesh: 51/10(17.5)
