With middle-order struggles and sloppy fielding threatening to derail their campaign, India will be eager to fix those issues when they face Bangladesh in a crucial Women’s T20 World Cup Group A clash on Thursday.
India began the tournament with concerns around their top order, but Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma have answered those doubts. Mandhana has scored 159 runs in three matches, while Shafali has added 92, both striking at over 154 to provide solid starts.
However, the middle order has failed to capitalise. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues and Yastika Bhatia have struggled to maintain momentum, leaving too much for finishers Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma. Across three matches, Kaur and Rodrigues have managed just 11 boundaries
between them without a single six, while Yastika has hit only three fours in two innings.
Though Richa and Deepti have impressed with aggressive strike rates, their late entry into innings has limited their impact.
Despite these issues, India sit second in Group A with four points and a strong net run rate, thanks to big wins over Pakistan and the Netherlands. However, their recent loss to South Africa exposed both batting and fielding lapses, including missed chances that proved costly.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, comes in with confidence after wins over Pakistan and New Zealand. Relying on team effort rather than individual brilliance, they will look to push India, who must sharpen up quickly with tougher challenges ahead.
